As for the model of the bike, the serial number will narrow it down to what year. The number is there on the bottom of the head tube, the first part isn't visible in your pic. Post it up and then the model can be guessed at with some certainty.
I'm guessing it's a Cruiser 5.

"built not bought" - very cool :wink:
It's very simple and balanced about the lines and with that handle bars is quite a nice bike!

The Built Not Bought was something last minute i had to do. In a different post it seems that I hit a nerve with a few people and it had to do with the Built Not Bought saying...SO..of course I just had to use it again. It's not a COPYWRITE phrase IS IT???? :wink:
Anyway...here are a couple new photos with the seat that a kind member suggested to me. For now im done...just need to find the right hand grips.
BUILT NOT BOUGHT...said it again..who do i pay for using that anyway???

It's looking good! You can rotate the seat mounting bracket to the front of the seat to get more of laid back look, by moving the seat back a couple of inches.
Looking good. Moving the seat back would look a little better.
How about some cork grips? You can stain them to match the saddle.

once i get home i will change the seat look. Last night it was late and just threw it on there and put the chain and chaingurd on it also...so there is still some adjustments to be made. And the grips of course...but for now it's ridable. thanks for all the help//always good to get some advise from the guys here.
Got the seat changed around..now the issue is getting it tight enough on the seat post. I cant seem to get it tight enough.

Looks like a good looking fun ride!

it's a nice ride. Only problem im still having is getting the seat tight enough. It wants to tilt back when i ride. Ive tried differnt mounting brackets but no luck. It's still a great ride. I think it would be cool if we could all get together...like a huge Bike cinvention and have a huge ride with all the fantastic bikes i see on here.
must BEE BEE season out here. I swarmed by them while taking these photos. AHHHHH spring in Arizona. Brings out all the killer things
