Hi,
I'm new here but not to cruisers - my last two bikes were an Electra Streamride Custom and a Kustom Kruiser Deuce. Sold them both in the fall (for some cash) and regret it - my wife is still P.O'd with me.
Anyways, new project is what I think is a first generation Dyno Cruiser - Glide Deluxe - Maybe you can help - It has a "D" in a green diamond on the headtube and a "D" cast into the back of the top tube at the seat tube.
The bike uses an old skool Sturmey Archer shifter with a 3 speed Shimano coaster hub which takes the shifter from the left side instead of the right.
Its a bit of a rat right now....the springer front end is in need of rechroming but I may powdercoat the fork legs black. The chainring needs a bit of a cleaning and the fenders need to be replaced. I will probably buy some chrome stubby fenders and go back to the apehangers and dump the crappy vinyl seat for a layback post (or custom bent one) with a Brooks B-66 or B-33.
