The crown jewel of my collection is the Kustom Kruiser Double Down, I had to change it around a bit to make it rideable for an adult over 5'2 inches tall. It was a poorly designed bike out of box but I put my personal touch to it (24x3 Electra Fattio tire in the rear 26" Fenix whitewall, red trim, up front . The Electra Townie 7 was a great score from Craigslist. I paid $100 for it about 11 years ago! Nirve ...... tire in the rear Electra Hotster tire up front (both flame threads). None of these bikes looked like they did when I bought them.

Maybe so but I guess I consider the double down the center piece because that is the one the cost the most and that I put the most money into. Especially the seat post, I had the seat post cut in half (it would not fit all the way in the hole) and cut some length out of it in the middle of it and then use a sleeve to secure both piece of the post. The way the bike was designed the seat had to be higher to make it ride able. The company that made this bike was just selling a bike that they had to know that an adult could not ride.
