Beach Cruiser Bikes were made out of aluminum because the selling point was, their 1/2 the weight of a steel bicycle
People wanted this lighter weight bicycle to be able lift the bicycle easily up onto the bike racks on the rear of their car
Also they won't rust like a steel bicycle.
But I guess the beefy frame style of the Kent Oakwood uses big wide frame tubing = twice the weight
So much for buying an aluminum bicycle that's light weight
It weighs the same as a steel bicycle.
But at least it wont rust.
