I'll have to contact Paul Wackowski of Wacko's Garage in Fla. He's the frame master that brought my design to life.

I also have this one, built by my friend Spokeshave, The Cleveland Special. I don't count it as a stretch because Even though the frame has been stretched the riding position is more conventional rather than feet forward. I guess you could say I'm addicted to them

I do for most of them. Unfotunately Photobucket is holding the pics hostage. From top right going clockwise, my Ruff Porucho, The black stretch that has no name, Locomotive Breath, The Double Barrel, The double Barrel, The Red Baron and the 5 Bar Deluxe, still under construction...

I own 6 stretches, 3 of which were built from scratch...I love "em!

I have never seen one on the floor of my local, er, Richard's Sporting goods, but they are on the website. Apparently the chain is now longer carrying Diamondback but carrying more Schwinn and GT

In June I sold a 3 speed Phillips bicycle through CL to a person who said they needed a bike to ride down at the shore. next thing I know it's in the antiques section for 3 times as much, with a whole, er, male chicken and bull story about how it was in an attic for 50 years. As of now it still...

a few more pics and details. front wheel is 29x2 rear is 26x3, half link chain, 3 piece crank, it even has a kickstand, a bell and a mirror!

I remember when Panaracer Smokes in the back and Darts in the front were the bomb...wonder if they even make them now.

Nice, looks much cleaner

I'm selling one of my favorite customs on craigslist, so I thought I'd ad a little something to the ad... "contact me via e-mail or text if you are interested but read the following first. If the ad is still here, the bike is still for sale. First come first served. Yes I will trade it. I will...

Well it's time to thin the herd again. For sale now is "The Italian Job" TSP frame from Italy, 26x3" tires, 2 speed kickback alloy wheels. A cool bike for sure, and one I am going to miss. $600 Shipping is available but you know it's going to cost a bit to pack and ship a bike this size, and...

I've got 3 Leppers on 3 different stretch cruisers and they work for me. I like the Brooks as well, but new ones tend to be a bit pricey. I've also had good luck on my more "normal" bikes with the $30 Becoz Saddle from Selle Royale.

Nice work!

Just make sure the hub you get is made for the same spoke gauge as the bike. Huffys sometimes use a thicker spoke than your usual Shimano hub.

since you are modifying it and you live in a hilly area you might consider buying a 3 speed coaster brake rear wheel for it. That way you can get a few gears and still keep the cruiser coaster brake simplicity. If it's realllly hilly you could even change the front chainring to a smaller one...

My custom, Locomotive Breath

i have a post in the how to section...too bad photobucket ate my pictures : (

Watch your knees on those points though!

Nice!
