    Humu = best campus cruiser ever. Go small. I wish I had gone with 22" or 24" instead of 26".

    Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy #### we don't need.

    Should be light, preferably foam core with carbon fiber on the outside. Failing that, thin wood core with fiberglass

    Okay. Lets see. Small. Sturdy. Drop-through. Light as I can make it. And how about this: a monkey grip like some guitars have, so you can carry it more easily.

    Personally, I love my roommates S9 bamboo maccas... Pretty light and has the sidewinder trucks which make maneuvering around ppl/bikes a lot easier... 33 inches long too... I'm 6'2" and it fits me fine

    30in drop through pin with mild concave and mild camber, make it so you can mount the sidewinders dropped, they make ped slalom easier and i find that they ride smoother because of the double sets of bushings, and throw some pink seven-o's or 78a grippins on it...i promise you'll love it.

    I say leave the foam, glass and drop through stuff for bigger cruisers and speedboards. 30" isn't that much to play with for drop throughs. Make something with a small kick concave and have fun.
