University of Colorado Cruiser

Riding the CU cruiser is the next best thing to running onto the Folsom Field with Ralphie. Black on black with just a bit of gold and white, the CU Cruiser will take you straight back to the best of Boulder. “Buffs” is embroidered on the saddle; Ralphie is stampeding down the chain guard and there’s a raised alloy “CU” on the head badge. We didn’t stop there. The tires sport a wicked flame pattern, the pedals are old school deluxe block (perfect for flip-flops) and the aluminum rims are painted gold.

It’s a lot of bike for $299. One size fits most—approximately 5’4” to 6’2”.
