    Lets See Those 26" BMX Styled Cruiser Builds

    I really like this setup! I'm thinking of putting an MTB fork on my 29er cruiser. This looks really good too! Not sure on what direction I want to take my bike! Might have to find a bare frame and build something of it.

    Dual Springer Monark Type - how to adjust?

    I would think that they should be riding on some kind of bushing over the bolts. Otherwise the bolts would tear up the brackets or vise versa.

    Bottom Bracket Conversion

    These are the cranks I've ordered and the Redline BB kit. Want a 37-40t chain ring.... but I should be able to use the ring that came with my Schwinn bike maybe?

    My new design.

    I think I've seen a couple of those. Very unique looking. Also an AZ resident.

    Bottom Bracket Conversion

    I was originally going to go with a Euro BB conversion, but not I'm convinced on getting a BMX 3-piece set. I found some sweet Matte Red and Matte Orange ones that are the large coarse 8 spline with pinch bolts. My step-son has a BMX bike with similar ones and they've held up to some major abuse...

    Thanks! I measured, and it looks like the chainline is around 42mm. Retrospec doesn't have any specs on their site unfortunately... so I might have to pick that up first in order to get the correct BB right? As far as the threaded neck goes... I'll have to get back with you on that.

    Upgrades! What do I need to make them happen?

    Done some reading, and browsing and found a few things I'd like to get for my bike. Yes it's a week old and I've already torn it apart and gone through everything. :D I was browsing on Amazon and saw this Aqua colored 3-piece crank set by Retrospec. What do I need to get this on my bike? It...
