Wow, that cruiser cleaned up well! I agree with the stripped down look. After Squid posted pics of his bikes I did the same with my Bildabike. Love the look. I do want to find a way to keep crud and salt from spinning off the front tire and into the steerer tube now the fender is removed. I'm freakish about squeaks, pings, or other errant noises on any bike I ride. Removing fenders and chainguard instantly helped with that oddball obsession, lol.

Hope your friends and family are safe in Houston.
