Awesome bike, but pretty far removed from the "Strandie" concept. You could probably add some strand flavor to it, though. Some of my favourite strandies were diamond frames. A lot of younger ppl/non-Cali came to know about Strandies online, via a very famous thread on the museum. Here's the lesser-known strand thread; i am a massive fan of the diamond-frame cruisers. http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=470460
