Very nice. I'll post mine sooner or later. When I get this picture thing figured out.......!
There are some pictures of it in some of the new Rockford 2005 posts. It has a strut up front.

I raced one, too. The cruiser was the last bike I raced. I have a question. How high is the bottom bracket on yours? If I remember, mine was ridiculously high. Well over 13 inches. I also remember having to saw several inches off the seatpost just to make it low enough for even 1990.

K, I have three KEX 24's. One is a Pro-S for sure. I will mount them on forks when I get a chance and figure it out for you. I have two Kastan posts, one is very long the other short. Seems as if two different sizes available then? The short one is uncut.

Kastan is the best of Mid-School for sure.
Notice how the uni-blade strut is on opposite sides on the cruiser and 20 in. Cool.

I have had quite a few blades and they opposed sides for both the 20 and 24. Really no reason or rhyme. Just a prefference. I wonder if they could be side specific when purchased new?

v8, if you have any stories about Kastan product please share. Like Uniblade performance and so on. I am sorry, I do not have any pads available. I have 4 sets but have 5 KEX models so I am actually 1 set short myself. Did you run the Tec-Matic II botttom bracket on your team bikes?
