So this finally broke...

Like I was saying I think that there would be a market for an in tank steel frame given all the problems of the aluminum ones. This plus the need to continually upgrade and refine our bikes. Let’s take poll. I’m in. You?

I'd be more in line for a tank that fits on a cruiser, between the cross bars, than a tank frame. The monkey bike tank fits well so I never pursued it.

For safety reasons id love to see a steel tanked frame. So many people buy a tanked frame without knowing the limits of the frame.

I would take a standard bicycle frame, but made out of .120 wall tubing, and then a motorcycle style tank that bolts to it and goes over the backbone of the frame.

It would be awesome if someone a press.and started making a tank like that. I would if I had the time and money to do so.

The frame isn't what you're looking for, but the tank is.

Is that the Hyper cruiser?

No.

No.

What frame is that? I would like to build a bike on a similar frame

That's an Electra. It's actually an alloy frame, but for road use it's just fine. I have a Zeda on another cruiser plus a Zoomie on a mountain bike, so a few riding options. Electra does make some steel frames.

I got these Electras maybe some day I'll do something with em
We rode them for years, then E bikes became popular in 2015. Plan was to go electric wheel kits but that didn't happen,
Actually I would like to sell them, Yeah, I keep em covered hanging up in the garage
Except for a little surface rust on the sprocket (it'll clean off) their like new,
I've seen people asking $1K for this set
