big frame/small tires?

[WhiteShadow]

I have a female frame that had some 26 fat whitewalls on it that I bought for parts just laying around. I also have a roddy seafarer with some smaller tires and not much going on with it. I'm thinking it'd look pretty cool slammed to the ground, but im wondering if there would be any problems before I even attempt. I'm thinking clearance of the crank would be the main concern, but besides that I'm blank


any help is appreciated

go for it but use the smaller crank from the small bike on the larger one. just keep your feet level while turning

Is there any issues with a 3 piece crank?

please could you post a photo of your seafarer before you use it
i ask because i have a roddy seafarer over here in England and i've never seen another before

thanks

ive run 20s on 26 inch frames with no problems just make sure you get a shorter crank

well I already stole the banana seat from the seafarer, but you'll get the idea. quick edit so i apologize for the lighting

I think you should make it ridable and sell it. that is in great condition. you can always find 20'' wheels for your project

I could throw the banana seat back on it and it'd be good to go. If there's a market for it, i'll def sell it

how old is that thing, mine is a male version and is in a much worse condition

it also been repainted in black, the original paint is there albeit rusted out
it was found at the side of the road in england about 20 years or so ago with no handlebars or front wheel, this is it now, unrestored and in a real ratty condition

cool I really like it

sadly I do not know how old it is

the guy I got it from said late 70s early 80s, that's about all i know

cool thanks dude, it would fit it being around that age (old enough to throw out when my friend picked it up off the side of the road )
