1983 Cook Bros. Racing Austin Cruiser 26

Original factory finish Austin Cruzer. Second owner.

This bike was originally owned by Justin B., an ex employee of the Austin Cruzer Shop in the 1980's. According to the owner of Austin Cruzer, Lynn Carter, chrome Cook cruisers were not stocked in the shop, they were special order only. This bike is 1 of 2 factory gusseted Austin Cook frames that were chrome plated, the other still resides in Austin. I received my frame from the original owner and built it like you see it. By far the most fun riding cruzer I own and definitely my favorite.

All finish, hardware & decals are original.

Parts:

* CBR Austin Special frame
* CBR fork, Uni-Clamp stem & headset
* CBR Longhorn cruiser bars uncut
* Takagi Cr-Mo 180x24 w/sealed BB
* KKT LMX Magnesium pedals
* Suntour 41 chainring
* Sedis 4L Special chain
* Araya 7x hoops
* Phil 1st gen front hub
* Sachs Automatic 2 speed coaster hub
* Brooks B72 saddle date stamped 1974
* Suntour seat clamp
* Cheng Shin Snake Bellies

Re: 1983 Cook Bros. Racing Austin Cruiser 26

I envy this bike. When I sat on it and peddled it I dribbled a little in my pants. lol tongue This is a grail for sure. Keep me in mind if you ever decide to part with it.

Thanks for cruising with us on it. Here's some more pics of you having fun on it.

I can not sit still. I have been tested for A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. and have neither. I don't need coffee, I just need a B.M.X. or surfboard to consistently ride and I'll be happy. smile

Sweet ride

No, the kickback version is the Duomatic. I do have one of those I ran on my Bassett for quite a while. This is the Automatic which shifts gears by centrifugal force around 10 mph.

Both have their pros & cons.

If anyone has a 36h Automatic they'd like to trade for a 36h Duomatic let me know!smile
