Yeah, I thought it was just a Malibu hopper family bike that someone had painted turquoise and put a piece of cardboard as a tank plate. When I actually picked it up, I was surprised to see the tank plate was a welded piece of steel and the white signs were stickers matching the chainguard. Not bad for an Andrew Jackson.
Nope, it is within regular geometry for a beach cruiser. The frame looks off because the curved steel top bars have that kink in them for whatever reason made sense at the factory 30 years ago.
Thus far, I replaced the sad mt. bike tires for shiny new white walls, and removed the fugly rear rack and removed the decaying foam handlebar material. I will probably get a rear fender for it, otherwise it rides smoothly.
red rims and whitewalls would look great with that color
