Skateboard company Santa Cruz has paired up with SE Bikes for the Santa Cruz SE Bikes 'Big Ripper' Bicycle. The bike features classic Santa Cruz skater-inspiration with logos, stamps and crazy colorways.
This 29 inch beast is wildly colourful featuring baby blues, reds, blacks and whites upon the frame -- an ode to the classic Santa Cruz 'Screaming Hand' logo colors. Elements of the hand are sprawled across the uppers with an SC logo stamped in the rear. The all-red seat and pedals give the bike an extra pop, while the BMX-inspired handlebars spice up this mountain bike-styled whip.
The bike also comes with a limited edition Santa Cruz X SE Skate deck and stickers. These pickups are a fine choice for skaters, bikers or for those who are looking to dabble in both.
