Of course you have an Emory too! 
Nice pics too. They all look right at home in the sand and surf.

Re: 26" Cal Custom Cruisers and Strandies...ONLY!
Here's one I've been working on... a 96 Murray USA cruiser/klunker. Still got more to do, but have a look -
Before - a US made 6 speed beach cruiser in very good original condition (local CL find - cheap!)
Work in progress... converting to BMX cruiser / hybrid klunker duty

That Typhoon is tight. Lovin' all the old "S" stamped hardware.

That rear brake mounting hardware (that uses the hole meant for the attaching the fender) is cool too. Haven't seen that before.

Went to Seaside Oregon the other day and brought my bike. Here it is at the Necanicum estuary natural history park. I was riding beach bomber single track style. A little loose in spots but rode most on the trail.
