Ive been looking through the internet and have not found another 24" Cycle Craft with a european bottom bracket. I raced it in 95-97 and loved it. It measures right at 20" down tube to head tube but has 24" wheels. I dont know much about it. Inside the left drop out is A 0 3.

Cool looking bike, I had a cycle craft cruiser with an american bottom bracket with a serial that just had letters...seems like all cycle crafts are odd like that...are those technique cranks?
By the way, welcome to the site...

Third bike made in Jan, Much more than that is tough. I am suprised there is not more info on the drop out. Its usually the three place serial build code that does not give year and the model. I never was into Cruisers so I can't give you the break down on the model. I would guess its a 24" light pro. Do a search on the Light pro's 20" or 24". I think I remember them having a euro bb.
Original stickers are the clue to year and if its a Florida or Tennesse frame.

The serial on the cruiser that I had was AD XC, we figured that XC stood for XL Cruiser, but didn't have a clue what the AD stood for...possibly a factory rider?? Could you take a better shot of the cranks?

There are some knowledge bmxers who replied to your question. It does not appear to be a bike built in Tennessee. We did build mimi cruisers in aluminiun and chrome-moly with euro. bottom brackets. As someone stated the decals indicate Florida build. However, Shag had some built up here for a while before moving fabrication to Fab-weld, by a guy who was our head welder for years and could weld everything except a broken heart or the crack of your [please review the site FAQs]. He is the man who welded all our titanium. Joe Martino

When i stripped it to paint it
there were some numbers written in yellow
by the drop out

put a magnet to it. if it sticks it's CRMO, if not it's Ti. you can tell by the pics (welds) that it isn't aluminum.

smaller cc framesets had an option of titanium forks.
it would be interesting to know if there were a few ti cyclecraft frames out there.... but i'd say this one is definitely steel.

i'd buy that thing in a heart beat. pull the handle bars back, paint the other crank arm black. and put black tires on it.

Speaking of euro bb CC cruisers, I bought this back in 92ish, very used at the time. Was told it was a CC. One dropout is stamped 100 lbs, the other is stamped D 20 something (its at my parents house, can't check). Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
