You could always tiki-fy your own cruiser mate :D This one features twine on the upright tube, and a wooden 'tank' insert, cork grips and seat detailing etc My suggestion would be: candy green paint, bamboo coloured grips and seat, copper rims, whitewalls. Just keep it simple and cool :D A nicely done custom bike will stand out better than a standard bike. Even better if you can incorporate some of your tiki items (like using a tiki pendant as a headstem badge)
