Its a custom build , but it has 24'' wheels on a 26'' frame. Looks pretty good to me. If you use 24x 3's on it they are about the same size as a 26x 2.125

Yep, what Uncle Stretch said....
Huffy Cranbrook/Sanata Fe 26" frame w/24 x 3 Kenda Kraze tires.
I'm only 5' 10" so if I want a fat tired bike, gotta go with 24s. :mrgreen:

Cheers,

i just tried it this morning on one of my stretches (murray montery frame originally). i was able to bend on the frame some and get it on, but couldn't get the chain to clear. i liked the look, but i guess i'll need to look into those offset sprockets if i want to try and go with it.

24x3 tires

 

[wheelymarko]

Might want to hang on to those tires,Cuz I cant find a set of them on the IN. Only the flames,So far :shock:

 

[kngtmat]

I bought brand new 24's for my 26 inch Murray Christine bike, I had put them on another bike for a little bit but after leaving them on the bike outside they became rusty already while every other wheel is perfect chrome but I don't want to talk about that in thise thread.

I had to make some room by cold forging the rear triangle but it worked. 8)
