Are the fork struts welded to the fork at the bottom?
Looks a lot like my Pansy (that I thought was a westfield)

I have been rocking one for a few years on a build off bike (http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=43559). Works pretty well on a cruiser, but the added wheelbase length made the bike handle a little different and made it very difficult to wheelie. Fine for a cruiser/around town bike...
been a while since I posted in here, but I had a few fix and flips recently.
First was this schwinn spoiler. I'd actually been looking for a spoiler for a while and this came up locally a few weeks ago. The owner even met me with it near my house to drop it off since I didn't have a car big...
honestly, 250/260 isn't that big. Just don't ride down stairs and I'd imagine most any modern cruiser frame would work fine. I have a buddy that's about the same weight and he loves his 3g cruiser.
I have an older high flange front hub I'd sell pretty cheap if your interested (and I can find it). I can't remember who the maker is, but I think it's 36 hole.
Here's a slightly closer pic of the slingshot
NICE 4500 you got there. I buy pretty much any proflex I can find around here if the price is right. Probably owned 10-15 of them over the years. I actually got the Beast for free from a friend. I've also probably have 5-10 trek y's. I just like...
Well I saw a Slingshot available on CL over the weekend and pretty much had to buy it. Then when I got home I decided I had to take a picture with some of the other recent and not so recent MTB finds.
Slingshot (not positive on the year yet)
Amp B4 (~1995)
Proflex Beast (1996)
Trek Y-22 (1996)...
for one speeds, I really like ND Model 3's. Very easy to clean as well. Might just be because I tend to rebuild those the most and take time to scuff the discs.
I assume you're talking only older hubs... ?
If not, I have NO idea what hub is on my grocery getter Kustom Kruiser, but I can easily...
It's a 1" headtube and the ladies monark should fit either with spacers, or re-threading the fork.
I too have the problem of owning a firebolt for far too long and not building it up.
