If you’re ever in El Paso, I’m sure Hooper would let you take her for a spin! But I’ll warn ya, I’m 5’11” and those 190 mm cranks make it feel like riding a Stairmaster.

I had a blast building this bike. It was my first “custom” cruiser. I had built quite a few bikes in my day, but only race bikes. This was a whole different animal. Trying to source matching orange-anodized parts was tough and I definitely looked outside the usual places. I actually have a small collection of parts that just too gold for my taste. The brakes were picked up from a folding bike dealer in Singapore, but are super rigid arms and work great. The Paul Love Lever is the one part that is mismatched orange, but it’s so SMOOOTH that I wasn’t about to skip it.
