The most imporant obstacle for a mail order bike is fit. You can have the most expensive, best looking, highest quality, etc., but if it doesn't fit it will become a POS in so far as riding enjoyment.

That's why I too...."Purely practical advice: You can probably find a used cruiser locally for less money and with more authenticity, if you try. You can prolly even find another beercan cruiser for less locally, too"....follow this advice. Just this past summer I picked up a like Diamondback cruiser (flared fenders, beach pedals, perfect paint) for my wife for $0. It was in a gaggle of 4 bikes and I sold the other 3 to a flipper on the same day for what I paid for all 4.

Also, most cruiser frames I see are 19 or 20" and are suitable only for those 5"10' or under. Raising the seat/handlebars are only fine tuning adjustments and won't make for an ill fitting frame.

Just my 2 cents
