Not a Ratrod, But You Guys Get It!

I think this forum is for me. Or at least the closest thing. In two weeks I'm getting a Pure Cycle Coaster Bike. Non-Beach Cruiser single speed, non-fixie, Coaster Brake bikes are apparently a niche thing. I was going to buy one from RetroSpec but they discontinued theirs. So apparently is Pure Cycles. I liked the Linus Bike Coaster the best but it's $550, has even higher gears and weighs 32 lbs (I live in a hilly city aka Chattanooga). State Bike had a contender but they require a shop to assemble so.... no thanks. I'm very excited.

I'm going to need to drop the gearing down a bit. Should I get a smaller chain ring or bigger cog?

Welcome

Looks like you been around a couple years already!

Much more options to swap out the chainring. Aesthetically and as far as gearing is concerned. Requires very little mechanical prowess
