Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

On the original poster's question, I'm still not sure what he's after. You could build a fixed-gear cruiser bike. The question becomes: How much can you change up the styling and still have a "cruiser" bike? One thing in particular to look at is that the classic cruisers unfortunately tend to have smallish frames (being built for boys more than men)- simply make a larger frame with cruiser style, and I think you'd be a good bit of the ways there.

Beach cruisers with 700c wheels FTW!

I put a basket on mine and picked up a roasted chicken from Safeway after a long ride on my CF road bike.

Finally we build Cruiser frame with dynamic geometry.
It's even possible to do a 2-3 feet bunnyhop on it as You can see

More info on: www.DreamBikes.pl

Congrats! Looks very unique and interesting. Would definitely love to test one out if I had the chance.

My Pashley Guvnor has a 68 degree head tube.

Makes for a very relaxed ride. Roadsters are the ultimate cruiser bike.

Oh that is NICE! Great job. Have you considered using one of the new Sturmey-Archer kickback hubs?

A curved frame would be cool but I'm going with a straight frame built around a two speed coaster brake kickback hub.

In season 2011 we will use Sturmey-Archer kickback hubs as well as newest Shimano Alfine 11. Production in Poland allows to use newest parts almost immediately.

Our bicycles are handmade in Poland, they are unique and cheap.
We are looking for a distributor in USA.
