One day, last year, I changed my route on a whim. Used a short cut behind a chemical sprayer business. Someone yells out, "Hey! You wanna bike?" A customer had given him a stock Schwinn Wayfarer (daddy cruiser bike). Brought it home, kept only the frame, forks and seat post. Started throwing stuff at it to make it a single speed.

Good tires, no name rims. Mismatched, but highly functional, Sugino/Sakae cranks. Tuf-neck 43 tooth chain ring.

Hot Street Rod USA bars, Origin 8 lever, Olivio brake (I have a front, carbon wheel, but not trained enough to go brakeless.

No name carbon, flip flop hub/wheel. 20 tooth freewheel (got hills here), 16 tooth fixed.

Like the model name, but it ain't a beach cruiser no mo'.
