Nirve Paul Frank Cruiser

I ended up swapping the wheels and tires with the Electra I had stashed away. I am not sure which look I prefer yet but I am leaning towards the whitewalls/silver wheels.

I just have to say that I recently finished a bike that was a knockoff of that Nirve design, and the original is s nicer by far. Your welds are so much more tidy, those dropouts are a far better style. That really cleaned up nicely.

Needs a Johnny Chimpo sticker to replace the Julius sticker that was on it.

What brand was yours? Was it one of those Micargi cruisers? I had one not long ago that I flipped.

No name garbage promo bike, I think they were free prizes for Moosehead beer buyers or something.

Really bad welds, all kinds of alignment issues, really thin tins, it was obviously not made with quality in mind. I can immediately see the difference on the Nirve.

Ah ok, you turned it into a sweet unit though!

Installed my "winter" Tires on the Nirve.

Took it out for it's first ride tonight.

It's really become the jokers bike now. Picked up a cheap no name cruiser off kijiji for 50 bucks today to snag some parts off of. I am now rocking green rims with white walls for now. What do you guys think of the new look?

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Looking good!

 

[dcoultis]

Thanks guys!
