this here is an old 26" schwinn cruiser frame, running a 20x3 rear and 16x1.5 front, forks stretched with schedule 80 conduit ( hand turned to fit 2.5 inches up into original fork tubes before welding ) and braced with 1/4x3/4 flat bar stock, doubled up and welded seatposts with a double-cheeker seat, 18" apehangers.
rides like a dream, did 3.2 miles on it today. previous frankenbikes have shown us the way--keep that rear bottom framerail parallel to the ground, and only stretch the forks BEFORE the factory bend, never after...
im really, REALLY close to 6 foot 3, and am pushing 340LBS right now. while i rode it around the garage, my wife was laughing and humming the "circus song"...( you know--DAT da dattah da da da da da dadah, DAT da dattah da da da da da dadah....)
i present this as proof that pigs can, indeed, fly...
