Street skinny cruiser thread!

My neighbor was tossing this to the curb. Caught him in the act and snagged it. Been in Storage for over 30 years. In perfect shape but hated the ride of it stock. Changed out the offending components and love it. Needs hybrid tread. Stock tires on it.View attachment 202879

Looks like Mid-70's Panasonic built. Those ride great. If'n you wish to lighten the wheelset ever, I have a bunch of aluminum 27er rims.

Durability and ability to handle some dirt, Schwalbe HS-159. If you want to go fast on pavement or hardpan, Panaracer Pasela 27x1.

I went with panaracer. I’d like to check out the alloy 27s

I have Araya, Weinmann, Rigida and even some Ukai. What rims are on it, Femco or Araya? We can match ERD and then you could just do a quick swap build.

Araya chromed steel on the bike now.

ERD 622 is what I have from measuring those chrome Arayas myself, though some charts show them at 618.

I have a few Araya 16a rims and they have the same ERD of 622. I'll double-check on both and advise.

I'm not sure if a West German made cantilever frame lightweight counts but here it is. Flying Eagle!

Ran across the immaculately clean 72 Supersport. Gave it a bar swap and been hitting it in the AM rides. Really a sweet bike. Didn’t really need it, but you know the drill. Gave it an overhaul, cables, seat…etc. Great rider

My first "trans" bike, a GT Rapid transit. I got a suicide shifted Starbucks cruise missile.

Did you polish that or was it coated?

Beach cruiser style frame its a Firmstrong Bruiser I believe with a BMX CLAMP / QUILL style stem, some Old School MX front Brakes, and some 700c wheels and 700c X 28 Panaracer Tires, and some DK Bars , with. A spruced up (rattle canned) one-piece crank,. Actually a really smooth riding bike.

Wow! I like the lines of that GT Rapid Transit!

The bone breaker. (Long story short; I ended up with a cast)
