Velo City: Bicycle Culture and City Life

Sizemore Mega Cruiser

Sizemore Mega Cruiser

Taylor Sizemore‘s mission statement is to create bikes that are simple, functional and unadorned, yet beautiful in their rugged purity. He built this big-wheeled Mega Cruiser for his father as a gift and thank-you present for helping Taylor pursue his frame-building dream.

As it turns out, Taylor’s dad, David, has as deep a love for motorcycles as Taylor does for bicycles, so Taylor reflected this in the relaxed geometry. The Mega Cruiser also embodies the Sizemore aesthetic and Taylor’s appreciation for clean lines. A Shimano Alfine internal geared hub conceals the transmission, driven by the indomitable White Industries drivetrain and it’s rolling on a pair of Schwalbe Big Apples. It sounds like there’s only one thing missing: a Bicycle playing card stuck in the spokes to replicate the roar of a motorcycle’s engine.
