:bigsmile: I thought about that a few times through this, but in the long run it was cheaper and turned out to be a slick looking beauty. Frankly building from a stock bike was neat because I was able to see where all the parts were and I felt great accomplishment turning a rather plain stock...

Okay guys, here it is: The headset came in super early this morning, so we went ahead and put it on today. We got this sucker LOW, and by that I mean the fork was cut to the point that the tank support bar in the middle is like a hair off level and you can barely fit your pinky finger in...

So, here's the fork assembled: It'll likely be attached to the actual bike Tuesday or Wednesday.

We actually ordered the Ruff Cycles fork from Huntington Beach Bicycle Company, they're a great dealer of really cool parts. I did receive the fork yesterday, and we were about to put it on and get this sucker all finished, but we found out it doesn't take a standard 1 1/8 Threadless headset, it...

Minor upgrade, but I got an LED Bullet Light on the bike. That is all.

I tried getting a heat gun to it, but those stickers are uber stubborn, I think they were put on before they put on a coat of gloss because there's no real visible seam on them, but I can feel where they would be. I'll have to see what I can do later on. I got some green ODI Cross Trainer...

Thank you all for the feedback, getting a lot of nice comments on a rather simple rebuild really touches my heart. I'm working on this part time, considering I have to keep money consistent for college and other pieces of maintenance, but I hope to have a really awesome bike at the latest when...

Okay, so a few changes were made. By that I mean, the overall concept of the bike has been changed. I brought the bike up to the shop and got a good amount of feedback now that it was physically witnessed by three people who could give feedback, including myself. The general consensus was that...

It's certainly an option, I ended up asking the shop about it and we'll have to see if there's a hub that can fit in the wheels I want. If that works out, I'll definitely put down the money to get a hub to make life a little easier.

Found out more on the chain guard and found a set of wheels that work, a set for 99. Gonna go order parts on Saturday from the shop.

I thought a lot about the Deluxe Springer, I just think that may be out of my current price range. My first idea was that the curved fork of the regular black springer would compliment the frame's curved look, but I figure I could overtime grind funds to get a deluxe, because the more I think...

So I veered off the beaten path and went to Clyde James' Cycles today, which is coincidentally down the street from my mother's house, never knew it was there. Got some great feedback from Clyde, decided to nix the whitewalls in favor of a tire with pinstriping or keeping the stock if I go green...

Thanks, hombre. My little brother was with me when I bought it, and he isn't too enthusiastic about it, but I personally love it and a lot of other people I've shown do too. I just figured adding some more black with a dash of chrome would break up the overall blast of green and make it a little...

Yes, the bike is indeed aluminum. Not sure if that would affect the choice in parts I was wanting to get, but the general consensus I got from the bike shop was it would be fine. It's a ludicrously light bike.

Hi guys. I introduced myself earlier today, and mentioned I had a Sun Cruz 2011 in Mean Green and Black. I've gotten quite a few compliments on the green, but my initial thought when I bought this was it may be too green. I'm personally falling on both sides of the spectrum, bouncing between...

Hi! I'm extremely excited to be part of this group, I'm a casual rider and college student from North Central Texas in the DFW area. I stumbled across this forum after looking for parts for my new 2011 Sun Cruz in Metallic Green/Black that I bought on sale from my local bicycle shop. I've always...
