May as well post my "misfit" build. Some parts are a Murray built Western Flyer Buzzbike, some parts are CCM and I think there's some Japanese parts thrown in on it as well.

I'd like to eventually put a proper, more common 26'' wheel out back on this.

The mismatched wheel sizes aee nothing that I can do, but I got to say some of these bikes look really nice!
 
Modified 1981 Sears Free Spirit 3-speed bike converted over to single speed with coaster brakes.
26x1.75 rear tire on a new wheelset, with 26x1 3/8 front on the original 3-speed bike's wheel with the original bike's fork. I wanted to use the fewest new parts possible with biggest tires possible and not have clearance issues.
It all works great and is a good ride.
