The coolest 'Old School' bike i have ever seen

[Jamis Diablo]

I don't like these 'look-I'm-a-motorcycle-but-don't-have-money-for-a-real-one' bikes.
It is to much over the edge, I rather have a nice klunker.

Are these just another sort of BSO?

One of my mates has an Electra cruiser and it's not far off.

Not a fan, IMO bikes for people that don't ride bikes

Looks a bit like an Ellsworth Ride;

missing the point dude!

I know, I know.

I think it's great if people put something together themselves in the shed, for a laugh, out of parts that would otherwise have been thrown away.

I think it's a bit different when they are sold new for the same money as a "proper" bike. :?

damn straight mate - do we know, is it a custom build or shop thingy?

He took it along the esplanade along the coast of the Forth,

I dont think after a couple of beers that the head angle and swept bars would hinder going in a straight line after you've had a 'couple'

definately not for a hurried commute, but for cruising along , it was perfect for a sunny evenings ride home

Gc

I do and don't like these choppers . I remember when they were pretty much exclusively built by people in socal to cruse around on instead of using a proper mtb or dirtbike . Just something to rock up to your mates place on in the evening for the party . But they are kinda played out now , lots of shite ones both thrown together with the owner shouting rat , rat , rat or from some cheap bso company .

I find I only like simple bikes , no unnecessary tubing , can't beat a double diamond . I don't like the curvy tubes mimicking a stretched and raked chopper but with a huge space where you expect an engine to be . The cranks often look like an after thought and then there's the metre of chain .

First cruiser I ever saw was on the 'F.E.A.R.' video by Ian Brown and I thought it looked cool and impractical.

My opinion has not changed, but it is quite cool, if a little super-niche.
