hows this for an oddity? this was Kiyomi Wallers personal screw around bike. he was a Parkpre team rider and he had them custom make this 24" cruiser/mtn bike. it rides nice although i'd rather it have a rigid fork. any chance anyone out there can tell me anything about this? it's almost kinds sorta maybe possibly somehow could be a mtn bike in a BMX cruiser kinda way. anyway, i'm throwing it out since it's a neet thing to look at.

Some teams from that era were using bikes like that for dual slalom events.

I guess its a mountain cruiser, that's what I'd call it. Looks like a fun bike.

Park Pre Cruiser

I have owned 2 park pre bmx 24 inch cruisers. They had internal dropouts like that one, but not drilled out, and no derailleur hanger of course. That Boss inverted neck is special.

i e-mailed Kiyomi (yoyo) today. here is he responce about this bike:

Sky,
Hi, yes it was mine for a season to use for the Norba Dual
slalom events. Marcus the product development guru at the time made
this
up with Kozy yamakoshi to have me race it. I don't think I actually
raced it, but practiced on it and the 26" wheels ended up working out
better for the circuit.
The components were our team sponsors at that time. That bike is
exactly the same last time I saw it! Where did you get it? I do
remember
the front end being a little long for me. Other than that the same rear
drop outs were used on the high end MTB bikes. Hope it helps out - yoyo
