I'm pretty sure those cranks don't suit the cruiser.

Take them off and I'll do you a favour by disposing of them  :daumenhoch:

defiantely stick with the black tyres mate..they make the bike,more so than the red uns ( my opinion!)

Deffo black tyres & sling the front brake , it'd look more like a race bike then  ;)

Black tyres look so much better - to much red with the red ones.

Looks better without the brake guard - try alans for a red mirage one - he has some stashed away mind you there expensive but i love them - would look loads better in my opinion- heres mine for reference.
