Blue to Green

[biggraham]

My go-to bike is always my swing, so I'm not totally against a smaller front wheel, but I'm using what's handy at the mo'

I like the 26/20 combo on this frame. Everything ‘fits’ well too, good lines, the bikes sits fairly parallel too

Well, it may be a moment until I post again,been in and outta hospital, and the green bike not being true is a real bummer for sure. Back after a healing hiatus...

Thanks guys, slowly managed to get the red frame ridable, but I misplaced reg seat post..

 

[biggraham]

I think the seat post I'm searching for for slinked down the tube, wth? Not sure if I can easily get it out, prob 4 inches down...
As the reach is still a little far for what i'm looking for, I tried on a spare set of bars:

The red cups are cute, and I like the silver wheels on there!

 

[biggraham]

This seat almost works, I like the colors and comfort level...

Popped on the apes again..she's kinda high geared tho...

 

[biggraham]

I've an unused 19 tooth rear sprocket, but think I'll need a 22 for reg gearing..If I can get motivated, I could borrow my kiddo's nexus shifter, then as it'd be 33% lower, that would be equivalent to going from 17 to 23....(22.7 , but..)
Silver hub's nexus 3, hence I left shifter cable wheel and clasp on the frame, just in case

Hope your feeling better.
You get the bike all figured out. Sometimes you just have to try different combos until it tells you "this is the one".

Even running the wheel the back of green's dropouts, it's still far too close for comfort.
Thoughts?
Pressing on, the only spare 26" fork I have nearby is from my blue schwinn (from the title) and as it still had the 20" on there...View attachment 160618

Looks great with 20” wheel up front! Maybe get a springer fork for it!

Thought has crossed my mind, But I was really trying to avoid building another muscle bike, and wanted to use as many parts I already have nearby as possible.
Lucky to have bought the 24" frame, I guess

I like to have a few spare rear sprockets lying around, they are more like consumables than 'parts'

 

[user 26311]

I like where you’re going with this! I just sent you a pm!

The devil is in the details . . . you'll get it right.
