We kept kicking the geometry back and slacking out the frame until it had –what we called at the time “6 pack geometry” This meant you could be half lit and still ride it to the liquor store and them back with one hand on the bar and a six pack of beer in the other. I was responsible for the geometry of that bike, and at the time we wanted a standard cruiser that would simply blow away the old Schwinn cruises that were so popular at that time. The idea of this Roadster frame actually was conceived after Sean Flickinger (one of the other GT Industrial Designers) designed the standard Dyno cruiser frame. I thought I could share a little incite to the project and how it became. Let me introduce myself, my name is Jeff Soucek and I actually designed that frame while working for GT bicycles between the years 19. ![]() It is great to see an appreciation for this bike after all of these years. I was just forwarded your website about the Dyno Roadster. Here's a letter that is posted ont eh Slown-Lo forum about the Dyno Roadster: The guy - or maybe one of the guys - who designed the Dyno Roadster at GT now works for Felt designing bikes. When you get into the Micargi Mustang, 8Ball Limousine or Fayaa4You then, you are talking fakes. ![]() It's a Dyno with a name change but, still considered a Dyno by most of the Slown-Lo Pedal Scraper guys. Yeah.you gotta go with the Kustom Kruiser now days.
