Just got my Firemans Texas Cruzer. What a ride. I like bikes and this is one of the best. I've owned 25 bikes in the last 7 years and this is the best purchase I have made.
First of all, I have to say thanks to Greg "Fireman" Mundy. Superior service and a great help. I'm in Canada and he helped set the shipping to Buffalo for me.
I chose Univ. Texas Orange and the colour is awesome. I added Redline Proline cranks. The bike is kitted with Redline parts and Sun Rhynolite/Bulletproof wheels.
The fit is great. I'm 5'8" and I really like the laid back seating. I makes for easy cruising, but I will need a wider saddle than the Redline racing seat. The bike does a bit of a quick change because as soon as I stand up to mash the pedals, the steering feels a lot quicker. The bike tracks nicely. I haven't done wheelies before but I think I may try with this bike. Its really easy to lift the front wheel off the road with a slight pull back on the handlebars.
Its not too heavy - not as light as a singlespeed mountain bike or my pursuit bikes (Adieu!) but its not a pig.
The frame is constructed really well. The welds look great.
Anyways...I recommend this bike to anyone looking for a fun ride with style. I'll try racing it in the summer.
