the best beach cruiser out there...

If you are considering buying a bike to cruise around the city or back and forth to the beach, look no further. The Electra Coaster 1 is the real deal.
It's lightweight aluminum frame makes you feel like you are riding on air. You really can't find a lighter bike in it's class. Part of the reason is Electra keeps the bike so simple by only using a coaster brake and not adding any others bells and whistles. Not to worry though, they use top end parts and spare little expense.

The cranks are where it's really at. Solid custom 3-piece cranks make this bike a real speed demon. For those of you who know little about bicycle components, this is one of the main things you should be shopping for. And also one of the main reasons prices fluctuate between different rides. Always, always, go with 3-piece. There is no reason to go with 1 piece unless you are purchasing a tricycle. This is one of the best examples. Most folks think a beach cruiser is a beach cruiser is a beach cruiser. That's not the case. It's all about weight, cranks, and style.

This cruiser comes in all black, has full size 26 x 2.125 tires and sturdy rims. Trust me, I have put my baby down a few times and she's still true all over. If you weren't looking for a bike, you should be now.
