RCC ver. 3.0

[Hammond Eggz]

A few months ago, I asked you guys to vote on this bike, "Ratty Custom Cruiser" (my long-time favourite two-wheeler, and one that gets a lot of miles logged on it) - to run it with or without fenders, etc.
I've since made a few changes based around some tires that I really liked on another bike I put together, and I think I like it now even better than the old versions. In addition to the Specialized Rhythm 2.3 tires, I also added some lighter ally wheels and longhorn bars for comfort. These tires are fairly heavy, and feel a lot like knobbies at first, but I'm diggin' the look:

Whatcha think? :mrgreen:

Looks real nice man, is the seat and grips Electra stuff?

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Thanks.
No, the seat is RAVX - most incredibly comfortable saddle I've ever had for cruising. I like Electra's stuff, but they can't hold a candle to this one for comfort. The grips match, but not sure of the brand - got 'em at my LBS.

Sweet ride! Thanks for the heads-up on RAVX...Turns out my LBS carries their brand! I'm gonna check 'em out...

I'm with CCR ...those bars are killer. Wish I had them. :mrgreen:

LOL - thanks, guys.

Very nice looking- a good mix of old and new.

I think the handlebars are Electra Cafe bars.

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Thanks!
And yup, they're Electras, but not positive on the model - you could be right.
I originally bought them as a replacement for my Electra Amsterdam, but they felt like a tractor steering wheel on it! :?

That looks awesome! I love the colors on it, they go great together.
