Gulf Cruiser

[kookuus]

So this is my Stiff&Slow bike...

It was OK but I always felt it needed something....else.
Although the frame is classic finnish design I wanted a bit more of that cruiser look into it.
So I bought couple of meters new pipe and started to bend it
and weld it

And so my KOMBI modification project has begun...

The basic frame design looks very similar to the classic British Moulton. How old is the bike?

I think it's late 70's or early 80's .

Welcome to RRB
It's always cool to see what people can do with these old compact bikes.

When I found this bike it was this kind of shape...

All the parts was original.

your bike is very nice Cool cruiser. In stock form I believe you could sell about a million of those to hipsters here in the northwest..

Interesting. Are you going to leave the stock tube, or cut it out?

Hipsters like that kind of bikes in Finland too... the most wanted brand is finnish Helkama JOPO.

I'm going to leave it. I'm thinking of somekind of wood piece to cover the hole on top of that tube.

Maybe some kind of GULF theme?
