I'm specifically interested in whether the 8-ball would come off the side of the Straight 8...

Here's a couple of shots of our Townies. Both 3 speeds. My wife's Art (moo-moo or Bessie) has a freewheel instead of a coaster brake, which is cool. I'd steal it from her but my frame isn't tapped for rear rim brakes. Replaced stock tires 2.0 tires for 2.125 Kenda Flames, and the stock bars for a really nice cruiser bar from my Black Bike. Mine (Matte Red) has a set of Bontrager Hank slicks and shortened stock bars. Got more in store for it. Thinking about a 8spd Nexus hub, and.....anyway, here they are:

Here's my Electra that I put together a couple years ago. Changed the light bracket since then becuase it bounced the light around too much while riding...

Where were you able to find a red primer Rockbilly that hadn't yet been sold? If I understand correctly, that was discontinued for ;08 and replaced by the matte sand version, which lasted a year (My LBS still has an '08 in matte sand)?

This was the model that made me want an Electra, but I fell instantly in love with my Boney Finger when I saw it in the shop. However, a friend who has a red Rockabilly like yours las had his in my garage since July, and I'm hoping he would let it go for a decent price. It's a sweet bike, and my wife likes riding it more than her Nirve Hello Kitty (of course!) although she's hesitant to admit it.

The "sand" color doesn't have the triple tree forks either. I too have one of these and love it to death. I ride it all the time.

Dude that's a SWEET Deuce. Hang on to that beauty, they're getting harder to find. My partner at Tour De Fat last weekend rides one like yours, but with some upgrades, and folks took MAD pics of his ride.

Nice. I wish I could find one of these frames. They're nicer than the newer ones to me.
