Some time ago I remember seeing that someone had built a bloomin' lovely custom cruiser-y bike around a cheap aluminium Barracuda frame (ebay bankrupt special!) that had curved top tube and seat stays. I think he'd made a custom fork for it.

If anyone else remembers it, could they post pics?

It wasn't this particular build, and it's not a great pic of the frame, and it's about the sort of look I'm aiming for...

Several different forks etc since then.

It's going to get another makeover for summer.

Looks fantastic? How much did the build cost?
