The $2,500 James Perse Cruiser will be bought by Hollywood stars and ridden just once.
The James Perse Cruiser is s like a classier version of Pee-wee Herman’s classic red and white bike. It’s a beach-cruiser style bike, with fat wheels and tires, a single-speed coaster brake hub, a steel frame and a Brooks saddle. It also costs $2,500.
Why so much, for something so simple it should cost a few hundred bucks? Because James Perse is a fashion brand, not a bike brand. The LA-based company also “makes” furniture and clothes. Looking at the site’s bio page, though, shows a couple of relevant details. James has indeed been to the beach, and there is a picture of him as a child, sitting astride a bike.
If you want one of these beautiful-looking machines, you can choose matte black, orange, khaki or creamy white. To buy it, just head to your local bike shop. Just kidding! You have to visit a James Perse boutique, conveniently situated in Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, East Hampton NY, Aspen and other fancy areas. And you should probably never, ever take it anywhere near the corrosive salt and sand of your local beach.
