first stretch cruiser

[NOLABIKER]

I've been eyeing the Firsmstrong Urban Deluxe for a few months now. Found it online for $239 shipped to my door. This is about $130 cheaper than I have found it anywhere else. Couldn't pass it up. So right now, it's sitting about 35 miles from my house at the UPS depot.

If only I had ordered it a day earlier...

Now I have to wait until Monday for it to be delivered.

I know it's not the highest quality bicycle out there, but I figured if anything, it will give me a foundation to build on.

The first thing I need to do after getting it assembled is to get some lights on it for riding at night. Thinking of swapping out the stock handlebars for some ape hangers.

Anyone else have some suggestions?

Properly lube that thing before a tire touches the street.

Looks like a Dyno stretch styled frame, always a popular choice!

Definitely going to need to get a bag to carry a few small items. Thinking of adding a dual kickstand also.

welcome to the club! I started out with a Chrome Dyno style...now I'm up to 6 of 'em!

...including the Double Barrel, my latest build!

I guess you could say I'm addicted to 'em!

Some really great bikes here. I just put my nice Dyno Deuce cruiser up for sale if anyone wants to review or consider.
Look at this on eBay Dyno Deuce Beach Cruiser Bicycle

Well so much for the good deal. The picture and description on the website were incorrect. Ended up getting a regular Firmstrong Urban, not the Deluxe that I wanted.
Contacted Firmstrong directly and they are out of stock right now. Should have more in a couple of weeks I was told.
Guess I have to wait a little longer....

Was this Kohl's online website? If so I better stop telling people about it! I just referred someone to them yesterday!

Dang! Knew it was too good a deal!

Had that same feeling when I placed the order. Free shipping though and I was able to return it to the local store. No money lost.

Well I found the Urban Deluxe today on Sports Authority's website. Not the color I wanted. But I could always paint it later. Real good price.
