who bought those 6 old cruisers in that guys backyard off of craigslist? even though he was charging, im sure it was exciting to go pick all those great bikes up and take em' home! congrats to whoever got them.

Makes me sick I missed them. Absolutely unreal.
STill trying to work a deal on the last one...
Man, missed the boat on that one ....

Er Jamal, dont you have enough cruisers? LOL

Not a huge score, a bit late to the game.
Turned out to be a nice guy.
A couple Geese, set of Phil hubs, DX pedals, Takagi Crank w/sealed BB, some brakes, levers, Profile chainwheel, handlebars and a Haro Group 1 stem.
Sweet

Missed out on the OM and the Patterson 26".

still cool you got some goodies to tinker with.

Patterson never built a 26" cruiser.

When the PRO cruiser class took off in the early 80's and everyone was running a big wheeler, Brent Patterson first raced a Kos Kruiser, then a Mongoose Two/Four until Patterson Racing finally built a 24" frameset.

Perhaps the bike was a 26" BOSS which resembled a Patterson since they shared common lineage?

Those Powerlite bars are awesome! Are they Pro Cruiser bars?

Yes, there was never a Patterson 26".
It was an err in the Craigslist listing. It was however very intriguing coming upon that listing.
I think the Patterson turned out to be a Panda which was also similar to BOSS, same style lug behind the BB. He ended up keeping the Panda and Floval. As I was leaving the last guy arrived to pick up the Profile 24, though w/ a gnarly crack in the seatmast, and that pretty much ends the story.


I just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention.

Bravo Bill.
