Yes at long last. On the making things end things move slow whether you want them to or not. Getting on the same page takes time, tooling takes time, manufacturing takes time, shipping takes time...Took near 3 years to get the tires after many tries with other companies and other people, the last iteration was an 8 month journey. I don't want to even add up the hours I had to put in to make it happen as I'm sure I would feel like I sold myself short. So keep this in mind when someone asks to "just" make something....well it simply does not work that way.
 
I'm sure it's way more complicated than one would think to get something from an idea to the market for purchase. Cool stuff Paul. Glad you worked to make these available to the masses!
 
heres my Raleigh Retroglide i actually put some money in because its a pretty nice bike! also found in the trash, i put a GT piston stem on that someone gave me when i was a kid, old 80s BMX bars i found in the desert in a pile of burned bikes, and old GT pedals. i got some BMX style cruiser forks on the way.



i think the crossbar melted off or something:crazy:

Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster here. I thought I'd add my bike to the mix since I finally completed it.
Not sure what kind of cruiser frame it is since I salvaged it from the street. With the exception of the awesome Snakebelly tires, everything on the bike was a hand me down or taken from a donor bike.

First post. Been loving this site!

Not really the same style as a lot of the bikes here, but it's a 26" and it's what I use at the BMX track. 2009 Kona Shonky frame, stripped and forced patina.
