Title: freestyle/park cruisers
Post by: medved on July 30, 2011, 10:17 PM: does anybody have any opinions on these cruisers with altered geometry to make them more like a 20" bike?

i have seen one by wethepeople and another by sunday, and whilst i would like to go get a bike to ride at the local skate park i wonder whether anybody owns or has ridden one?

i normally race a cruiser (very badly) at regional level and have no street/park experience to speak of

It's got a 21" TT and short back end but 22" wheels with a 25/9 gearing and NS bits and bobs I don't understand or care about, but it rides ace. :coolsmiley:

End of. :yahoo_silent:
