That looks really cool if you can pull it off.
I would use a cruiser frame to do it and maybe a fat tire for the back to really pull it off.
Skinny tire in front to give it that Harley sportster style look.
That is actually one of my favorite styles yet I've never built one.
I would like to see them as well.

That's actually my plan since I have a front 26" wheel and tire off a cruiser but I have a 24" cruiser frame. The springer fork im wanting is black and for a 26" wheel.
There are quiet a few bikes Ive seen with a fat 24 in the rear and a 26 up front. Look up the dyno deuce if you are looking for a fat style.
That's basically what I'm aiming for! I found this pic on a google search, love this set up!
I have the electra sparker that is setup like that. It's a cool look with the fat rear tire, i think it's just a little shorter than a regular 26" cruiser tire. The problem with the fat tire, I don't think it will fit a regular 24" frame so I guess your stuck with a regular size 24" tire.
That's why I haven't ordered a tire yet. So now I'm worried the 26x1.95 will look goofy with a regular sized back tire.
But, a chopper look(motor cycle looking fork) with a skinny 26 to 700 looks cool, drag bars to compliment the look!
i agree with mikeeebikey drag bars with triple trees will definitely make the look.
as far as the tire fitting i do know some people have used blocks of wood to widen the rear drops.
now you got my brain clicking i may have to experiment a little and build one of these.

This is a lowrider stretched cruiser so it won't fit/look right regardless lol

Basically it will look like the pic I posted above except lower. I already have springer fork and avoided the chopper style because I wanted the bike lower.
Dude that's wicked! I also have a 26x1-3/8 wheel but that's too skinny for my big butt hahaThis is a 27/24:

Also I think adding a 26" fat tire up front it might help balance out the fact it's a 24" frame.
ahh yeah i see what you mean.
Couldn't I just measure the inside space of the rear fork to get an idea of tire sizes?
Oh gosh I can't believe I found a 24" match to the 26" tire I plan to use!
