I am building a parts thrown together custom 26 inch Murray beach cruiser frame, with a 24 inch rear 7 speed with disce brakes. Front wheel is 18 inch also with disc brakes. Bannana seat and short sissy bar. Going after the muscle sypder bike look while using better brakes and longer frame. Medium hi rise handle bars. So far I am just mocking up parts, there might be changes.

Changed the color to metallic blue, still fabing the rear disc brake mount. Had to get a bigger front disc to match where the caliper mounted. Making a stick shifter and possible a radio might mount on that plate too.
