Chrome cruiser frame

[Hsean]

So tonight on the way home I stopped infront of this house on my bike. I had three choices. three frames lay on the lawn. one 20" mountain bike. one bmx. with all the padding things still on it and a chrome cruiser frame. I could only take one! I picked the chrome frame. not sure what size it is but i'm guessing it takes 24" wheels. So what would I do?! It's to small for me... or is it! I smell a banana seat bike! since I can't find a fastback here theres always plan B!

Pictures of the frame will come when I wake up and start poking around the yard.

Heres a picture. it looks like a department store bike, and it can fit 26" tires but that barely clear the frame, so 24" it is. Also heres two other bikes I got. the orange one had nothing wrong but a loose wire and that big one is missing a crank arm. Hmm Should I reap that little orange one for it's wheels?

Build it up as a klunker from the orange one.

I would but it would be to small for me, the only way is to make it a banana seat bike. I already have a firestone Kunker i'm building so i'm good with one Klunker.

That chrome frame looks like a 20" frame to me .. :?: ..I hope I am wrong and it's a 24" :lol:

Well you know what? lets find out. i'll go put some 24" tires on it. the good news is 26" fit on it so I could get away with having them and put 26" forks on the front. low fat 26" tires would fit good because they bike has big clearance on the seat stays.

Edit: And thus it took 24" tires as seen in this picture.

Wow me eyes must be off..I guess it's hard to tell from the picture...Thats a great thing for you..I am glad I was wrong.. :wink:

The down side is some silly person went and hammered the seat pole into the frame. but once a banana seat is installed it shouldn't be an issue I think.

Try puttig the seat post in a vice ..it might come out..?

Most the time i drill a hole through the pole then place an old rachet in there and twist with a pipe, never failed me yet. only because my vise is broken lol

I use oil and a 3' pipe wrench.
