This is my entry in the traditional category. I'm upgrading an old build to make it more suitable for a retiree, or pensioner, or just plain old senior citizen. It's a BMX style bike now, but I'll add a springer fork and cruiser bars. It'll get this set of 57mm wheels with 26 x 3.0 tires I recently laced up with gold spokes. They were planned for another build but that didn't work out.
I tried the regular 2.125 and 3.0 tires and like the 3.0. I can use coaster brakes or band brake. Probably coaster to omit any cables.
This bike will be geared for easy crusing and comfort. It may or may not get painted. I did the splat paint job on it a couple years ago.
This build won't take too much work. I hope to be out riding it soon.
