Hey folks, As I was searching for a knock-around cruiser for my coastal Carolina community, I heard about Klunkers and got pretty fascinated with the idea of riding the neighborhood with my kids on the old-guy version of the kid's bikes I rode 40 years ago.
Just picked up a near new condition Electra C1 Lux. Maybe a 2018 model based on a 183xxx serial code? Aluminum in "anthracite" green. It's got a few scratches on the top tube but other than that seems to be in original condition. Started looking at mods and this group kept coming up.
The mods I'd like to make seem pretty basic by this groups standards but I'm not much of a wrencher so will be looking for some guidance. I've only put a few miles on her today but know I wanna make some changes.
Basically want to start but figuring out a BMX style handlebar, and a saddle swap. Then in the future some tire upgrades (something a little more knobbie for dirt trails, and of course a cupholder...
Might ultimately decide to add a 3 speed hub...
Not sure if that's better for another thread in one of the sub forums?
Anyway, good to find this group. Gonna start surfing around. Would love to hear any recommendations.
