100% hand crafted in the United States!  Our Expert Cruiser frame is designed to fit riders 5’1” to 5’5”.  The frame has a 1-1/8” head tube but with the Crupi  “Chameleon” headset, you can use a 1” fork and stem to lighten the bike and make it fit even smaller riders.  This is an awesome feature, but keep in mind that most 1” forks and stems come with rider weight limits around 90 to 100lbs. 

The Expert Cruiser features a 9” seat tube with a 68-degree angle.  This keeps the seat low and behind the rider and out of the way when pedaling.  The frame also features a 3” head tube instead of a standard 4”, which keeps the front end down due to the larger diameter front wheel.  It also has a slightly easier head angle than most frames at 72 degrees.  The reason behind this is that younger riders on skinny tires feel squirrelly with steep head angles.  This makes them slow down until the bike feels more comfortable and the main idea here is to make them feel more comfortable so they can go faster!  Our 72-degree head angle gives the bike quick enough turning but makes the bike feel more secure (especially in the turns) allowing them to go faster. 

Like our 20" frames, our Cruiser frames feature real short back-ends that make the bike react quicker out of the gate and the turns.  Shorter back ends also tend to manual jumps better.  Crupi frames come standard with custom cable hangars and machined head tubes, which are faced for you so your headset will press in smoothly and evenly.
