I have to wonder how the prices of these replica machines compare to buying the same style in a vintage bike?
It's like going to the county fair midway, I want try riding each one !
These bikes are a modern replica of the BMX, Cook Brothers Racing, 26” Strand Cruiser, that was built decades ago.
Apparently, there’s enough of a demand for the limited availability of these classic BMX Cruisers to drive prices into the stratosphere.
So, one of the local builders here, decided to satisfy that demand, by making a limited edition of the classic, Cook Brothers Racing BMX 26” Cruiser.
The Johnny True Torch, Cruiser, retails for about $2,000

Now, take a look at this eBay result from about an hour ago!
Holy Sh*##!
Well, it doesn’t look like the Fake Bike has hurt the value of the original product in the least.
So, if you don’t have the good fortune to own the original, the fake one, is the next best thing.
