Gentleman’s Cruiser Bicycle
You might say I like “designing” bikes. While I’ve only completed two, I get very obsessed with finding parts, styles and looks I want to take and make into my own bike. Below is the second bike I have worked with JD’s Cycle Shack on (the other is a mountain bike I’ll feature later). I call it the “Gentleman’s Cruiser”, and while there is much more for me to add to it, I thought I’d get the semi-finished product up here.
Current features: Brooks (brown) leather saddle, wood grips, my grandfather’s WWII compass and a handmade umbrella.
Soon-to-be features: wood pedals, Billy Kirk bike bag, coffee holder on handlebars, front bag rack.
Before I forget, I’d just like to add a quick plug for JD. The prices are fair and the results and care are aces. The cool thing for me about it is we take an old bike, strip the paint, powder coat it and make it like new.
