Tank really "pops" on the bike.....UH, your sister can get a job at an auto body shop taping, nice job.

yeah, but if this build reaches deadline and he hasn't gotten a rear coaster brake wheel, then we as a community have failed him.

Hey Schwinnray69,

Your bike is looking great!
Nice job for both you and your sister's lettering.
I really like the tank.
Appropriate theme for this weekend!

I realized I had saved a picture of your Firestone at some earlier date as really cool red rims and spokes. :D

I guess I'm not following as well as I should (I usually don't) but what type of rear wheel are you looking for?

I think I got that you are looking for a big fat tire on the back(?)
How big?
I've gotten some really big tires on my mountain bike (2010 Giant Boulder SE)with rather narrow rims.
I put a 2.35" snow tire and a Maxxis Hookworm on it (2.5" wide but very heavy)
I think that it might be bigger than your front tire(?)

Would any of these rims work? (26X2.125)

There fairly reasonably priced.

Sorry if none of this helps.

Hope you to see you get it sorted out.

Looking forward to updates.

Good Luck
