1981 Laguna BMX Super Cruiser

[Justin]

This is not exactly rat, but it does come in somewhere between a beach cruiser, BMX and klunker.
I also have a 1979 one that I'd like to use a 2 speed Bendix kickback hub on.

That is a cool bike! :mrgreen:

Sweet bike!

Do you mean 2 speed kickback?

 

[Justin]

Ha! yes I meant to type 2 speed. I'm after the red band one I think. Is that the one geared for the 'gentleman' rather than 'lady' cyclist?
Also what's better, the Bendix kickback hubs or the Torpedo ones?

Man oh man...what a beauty. Love everything about this bike.

One day I'd like to own a 26" cruiser like this....loop tail frame and all.

Problem is, I'd have to get a second mortgage on my house.

I'll have to stick to making my own for now. :wink:

We also had a pretty good thread going on 26" cruisers a while back...

That thing rules. Until I got my Lagunas I was riding one of these.

What I'd really like to find is a Bassett star cruiser.

 

[Rat Rod]

Oh yeah...those Bassetts are mighty sweet.

Kind of a combo of a Schwinn canti frame with a looptail.

Did you build your Laguna up from just a frame?

 

[Justin]

Yeah. Getting a complete bike from sent from the US would cost way too much.

 

[Rat Rod]

I'm sure you know Kevin from the other forums.

He's got the 26" BMX Cruiser fever bad.

Some dude had a minty Laguna criuser on local CL for $150 obviously without a clue, I could kick myself for not even calling. I bet he got a clue when he got about 5000 phone calls though. Oh and nice bikes!

I crave an older Champion 26" Cruiser myself. The price of old BMX is unreal.... Well at least someday I may justify old school 26" BMX. Your bike is so sweet. Enjoy...

Dia-Compe MX hinged seat clamp. That's what I used them for BITD.

The old 3 bar bikes are cool.Im 98% done with my 3 bar.Just need the freewheel and a chain and Im riding!!Very very nice Laguna bro!!

 

[Unchained]

That thing is positively sick! I could see it being built up so many ways- the looptails are a really sweet aspect, and the bars were designed perfectly. Really cool bike!

 

[johnny nightwolf]

I just picked up a Laguna cruiser today! I'll post up pics tomorrow. So pumped, what cool bikes.

 

[FLAT BLACK KUSTOMS]

I just scored this 1979 pre-gusset Laguna BMX 26" cruiser for $25.00! It is gonna be sick when finished! I will post more photos as I go!
