Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Great bike @ozzie ! Thanks for sharing all the pics and ads. I like the look of the fork without the cover too.
I want to take the bike I'm building off-road sometimes. Just flat desert trail riding, I'm not trying to get airborne . If the fork flexes, I'm ok with that, but I don't want it to fold. Do I need to buy more insurance??
OG klunkers didn't have BMX/MTB forks to equip their bikes with. I know they evolved into more rugged BMX and front suspension MTB forks but I'd like to see what the OG fork is like. I imagine the flexing makes it less controllable when it's rough.

I held the Roadmaster frame up to my 48 Columbia Cruiser and it is nearly identical in dimensions. I love the laid back feel of these bikes too. Can't wait to get it rolling.
I would like to try and see how it rides with the OG fork.Are you using that fork for your new build?
I would use a more rigid fork for a bmx cruiser as the stock one flexes a fair bit.
I love the way the post war CWC frames like these ride. Very laid back feel with a longer top tube than many other boys bikes of the same era.
