A while back I was asked to build a bike for Alan "crankbender" Holmgreen. It took me a while, but I think the results were worth it. Alan is a big guy. I mean pro linebacker big, so the bike needed to be stout. I went with a little inspiration from the old Mert Lawwill Pro Cruiser, one of the first real off-road bikes I ever saw. I was calling this one the Holmgreen Machine until Alan took it into his local bike shop for build up. They just wrote on the work order BIG BIKE, and that's exactly what it is. A big BMX bike with disc brakes and a 27 speed drive train. The lower top tube is actually higher than the top tube on my personal mountain bike. Happy trails, Alan.
