This may be the dumbest build name I ever thunk up. Let me explain. This is a 2011 Trek Cruiser Classic Deluxe. Trek hails from Wisconsin, known for its dairy products. This is an Asian made bike, thus not real Wisconsin "cheese," but rather a facsimile like the yellow stuff in a spray can. It has fat tires that will be even wider after I am done. So, we have DeLuxe Ratty Fatty E-Z Chee-Z.
I bought this because I like the frame design and it actually fits a tall person. It comes with Bontrager Solana 26 x 2.35 tires that will fill out so nicely on a set of wide rims. The stock rims are really narrow and these tires already measure out at 2.4 inches wide. Mounted on a Felt 50mm rim, they only increased .2 inches, but they look so much better.
I stripped off the fenders and swapped bars and saddle, so will get pics of that later. Here is what I am starting with:
