i got three, they are nice but even bigger to have hanging around your house. be warned, they are well nice to have and make a decent rider too if you wanted to use them.

Just wish I had'nt sold it ! :'(
If you're looking at a OS cruiser build then as Paul ( Stuntmaster ) says , the 24 specific parts are harder to come by and can be expensive ( sometimes quite a bit more than 20" bits ! ) .

Your less than favourite guy in Australia (JohnnyChopper) makes repro Kos Kruiser bars if you are desperate, I think they are branded as repro's too :daumenhoch:

Correct me if i'm wrong guys....but isn't a 'new skool' cruiser just a single speed MTB? :-\

John, I can understand that, I think they would be OK for putting on a new school ride to give that old school look and feel but don't think I'd put them on an old school ride :daumenhoch:
