The "Laid Back Bunch"

[the_undecider]

I decided to drag my entire crop of cruisers out for a group photo and to illustrate how much I apparently like lay back seat posts. I realized the other day this fact when I looked around the garage at these bikes and thought back to my previous bikes and how many of those had lay back posts.

From left to right:
1.) Electra Relic 3i Deluxe - I picked this up on CL for $40 and it was pretty rough and nasty from being in a pig sty of a house where cats must have really enjoyed spraying all over the wheels on this, yuck. Originally, I was going to throw some apes on it, but I ended up going a different direction. More details in my build thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=73809
2.) Kustom Kruiser Moto Glide - Also a CL find recently. Not really a build, but I have been steadily cleaning it and detailing it. I was going to sell it, but I have put that on hold a while since I really like this bike. My fresh finds thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=74101
3.) Schwinn Le Tour "Path Racer" - This was my most involved build using pretty much just the frame. I wanted a roadster/path racer bike and this is what I came up with: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=65343





Here is my 1963 Typhoon "El Raton" that I sold a while back:

A while back, I bought an Electra Townie that came with a lay back post:


Then, there was my KHS Manhattan Nitrous that I built with 3 speed hub, Kenda Flame 26 x 3.0 tires, longer cranks and smaller FSA chain wheel, and yep, a lay back post:





The Typhoon, Townie, and Nitrous are all long gone, but their memory lives on.

I'm normally a cruiser guy, but I like that red one with the diamond frame. Maybe its the hubs.

I have that bike here in Nebraska. I don't know if I bought it from you but I had it shipped from Texas.
I put a front headlight converted from a Jeep fog light on it, a leather handlebar bag and a turbospoke muffler.
I have a black and flames version that I want to do the 3 speed conversion and lay back seat post to.
