cruiser revolution

I shared an early photo of this Curtis cruiser frame last week on the Cruiser Revolution Facebook page.

Curtis Bikes had taken an unconventional approach to this custom cruiser frame so my interest was definitely piqued.

Now, Curtis Bikes has released new pictures…and wow, this is a really cool looking frame.

It features a 22″ top tube, 14.9-15.3″ chain stays and 10 x 135 mm* dropouts set up to run  a Hope hub and Tech 3 disc brake.

*Spacing typically seen on MTBs

Check out this brake bridge.

I’m feeling this blue finish too.

Here’s the rest of the specs:

• Headtube angle: 73 degrees
• Seattube angle: 69 degrees
• Top tube length: 21, 212.5, 21.75″ and custom (like the one above)
• Chain stays: 14.9 – 15.3″
• Bottom bracket height: 12″ 
• Frame height: 8″
  

Disc brakes on cruiser frames are still a bit of a rarity…and people seem to be a bit divided on whether or not they are the way to go…but I’m kinda digging it here.

Nice job by Curtis Bikes!
