Gary Turner has caught our attention yet again with another new project.
This time it’s a limited-edition 29″ cruiser.
Hand built out of 4130 chromoly and chrome plated by Bush polishing (the way Gary has done it since the 70s) this is a nice looking frame & fork.
The limited edition series are numbered 29-01 up to 29-100 as Gary did with their retro 26″ cruiser (which is now sold out).
Nice attention to detail throughout.
Gary mentioned in a Facebook post that several people had asked him about a 29″ cruiser which ultimately prompted him to do the limited run.
It got me to wondering, now that 26″ cruisers have a experienced a recent surge in popularity…is a renaissance in 29″ cruisers next?
There are number of signs this might already be happening.
FBM has wheeled out a custom 29″ cruiser (A 29″ FBM cruiser…who would’ve thunk it?)
Todd Lyons has shown you can get rad in the dirt on a 29er.
Peter “Pdog” Ulbrich has taken his 29er to the street, the track, the skatepark and just about everywhere else in an edit from a couple years back.
Heck, Pdog has even released an edit that is almost exclusively bowlriding on a 29″ SE Big Ripper.
Maybe 29″ cruisers are about to have their moment too.
It’s funny to think that this “retro” cruiser might just be on the front end of a new trend in the cruiser scene.
I’m going to keep my eye out to see if more 29″ cruisers start popping up from other companies…
