This one was really about the build for me: the simple, clean, patina. It's a great bike, but I've moved it on to a new home. My next cruiser will be this:
It'll probably be a 1x9 with a front cargo rack. As much as I like the Al grounder tyres I used on the unit (I kept them to use on my hardtail for bikepacking) I just prefer a cruiser bike to have smaller wheels.

Shiny bars. What be they?

Motorbike handlebar off my 2005 Suzuki Bandit
. I fitted a Renthal to that and I never got round to getting rid of the old bar. They are made of pig iron, so weigh a lot, but they have a nice sweep and rise, so they'll do. I've taken to keeping a BMX stem around to fit 22.2mm motorbike bars to stuff.
Yeah I bought the cheapest motorbike handlebar I could find and a cheap BMX stem a few years ago for a cruiser project. Works well!Motorbike handlebar off my 2005 Suzuki Bandit
That looks like a Lopes era GT with the colours. Nice

I quite like that bronzy/gold/tan Kona frame. Kind of makes me want to paint something a military-desert-sand colour
This would be cool on a bike-packing bike:

That looks great - exactly the sort of thing I'm after at the minute...
