Best 24 retro cruiser for riding and keeping fit?

(1/7) > >>

threaders:
Hi chaps.
I am looking into getting a cruiser but really want something either old school or retro looking. I need something that's good to ride Regularly as I want to loose some fat but still look cool :) I had a 26 quadangle cruiser but I didn't like the way it rode. It seemed that it was too easy to pedal and it didn't move very far if that makes sense  :crazy2: i have seen a few 24 cruisers and would really like a quadangle again but have only seen three up for sale. One is a 2009 quadangle and the other two are the dc quadangle and there is the  2015 freestyle quad but they seem to be sold out of those. I am hoping that this time I might be able to modify the one I get to make it harder to pedal and move the fastest :laugh: sorry for being a newbie and not knowing too much and thanks for any advice and help. Some pics would be great too :daumenhoch:

Floval or big rippers are cool !


Or maybe an OM flyer !

I have the 2011 24" Quadangle and find it quite comfortable to ride . Pretty sure that you should be able to change the gearing without too much fuss , but haven't bothered looking into it myself ......

workshyfop:
quite simple to make the gearing "higher" i.e. harder to pedal/higher top speed....either fit a larger chain ring up front, or a smaller freewheel / cog on rear. the rear option would depend whether the bike you buy has a old school style screw on freewheel or a cassette hub. if it has a screw on style freewheel you may be limited to the size options available to fit that particular hub. if you go the larger chainring up front you may have to fit a few extra links to the chain as it will require the chain to be longer, the opposite applies if you change your freewheel, may need to remove a link, or may just need to move the wheel further back in the droputs to take up the slack.
when you do buy a bike, start a new thread and you can get more appropriate advice then....hope this helps, regards, Neil.

We have a 2014 Floval Flier 24" it's really good to ride mate,  even has a bottle opener built into the seat. 🍺🚲😄👍
