Has anyone on here done this before? Would like to see pics if you got them. Or does it just look strange? Got an old Schwinn cruiser and trying to figure out what wheels to put on it.
 
Here's mine: '58 Schwinn Spitfire w/ 20" West Coast Choppers wheels/tires on it.



It's not staying like this. It was only temporary for one of my sons. This bike is about to be torn down for a rebuild.

Can you still pedal without hitting the ground or did you have to change the crank?
It has the original crank and if I remember correctly I had to make sure my feet were flat when pedaling. Otherwise the toes could get caught, rolled under and ground off.... :shock:
 
...here's a swapmeet cruiser/pit bike I threw together...easy on/off, etc....
