NICE!! Looks like a fun bike, kinda a cross between a hybrid and comfort bike, best of both worlds! ENJOY!

I have a 2010 Cypress and I love the ride, although I don't ride it as much as I used to.

I am working on a project now to build a bike like yours. It is a mountain bike frame with road parts on it. I need something to cruise around on.

It looks sort of like my Schwinn Avenue. I bought it because it was cheap and I figured I could pull trailers with it, but it turns out I liked it a lot after switching to a sporty seat. It was pretty fast on groomed trails but
the bb is really low. I think yours is a good design for the frame shape. It can fit almost any rider.

Cool bike. I have thought about doing some cross/hybrid type 700c bike. Looks perfect for the place in the background. Isn't that the trail with bridge over the Suwanee River? Coast 100 trail? Just was looking at another members
pics from there earlier in the trail/ride section. Just built me up a 2002 Giant NRS XtC with the Aluxxx tubing. Enjoy the bike!
