The new 26” Cruiser/BMX thread

[mattbrown]

Here's my wip contribution, 1991 GT Timberline. The frame was a bonus addition to a couple of bikes that I picked up earlier this year. I didn't know what to do with it, albut then thought why not a BMX Cruiser.

Utilizing Shhhhhh you know who's prototype IVC Invisichain system, 1000 times smoother with none of the power...

The seat looks perfect, reminds me of the blue plastic ones from the 80s.


Missing cables as well, I think when they said

Here's my wip contribution

they meant "work in progress"

Screw dem 26ers and 29ers. How about 1890s 30ers. I especially like the 35 tooth inch pitch chairing, dats 70 teeth to us. The cog looks like it’s got 11 teeth. This was back when men weren’t like ladies wearing pants. Short top tube and way down low, so glouriously uncomfortable.

In the 1980s there were a few BMX single speed bicycles around with 24 and 26 inch wheels hanging around the tracks. They called them cruisers. Too few to race and they were owned by different ages of racers. Everyone seemed to want one but they weren’t available locally. A few years ago I built a similar bike to race in an enduro. It was ensured by these early BMX cruisers that I remembered,
