REALLY!
it might look crazy if that is what you are going for !
I going with the 20 inch wanted cartoonish not that much.
Rebuilt my old 26 inch skip tooth rim. Found the grease was like tar and 3 of the ball bearings were crushed. Cleaned it all up found new bearings installed new grease. Works like brand new. Skip tooth is like running a old flathead motor.

Originally when I started this build I was going with a cartoonish theme. But after I started working on it, I decided to go with a rusty old school look. My girls just said really dad! So now I think I will call it REALLY DAD. Next step is to remove all the tins and paint then that rusty faux finish.

Looks like it rides well, if maybe a little uncomfortable?

Yeah, I always felt there's a wide line between lookin' cool and riding comfy...

........and pedal scrapin is where its at now
Some people think pedal scrapin' is cool...
but IMO none of those fans are bike riders, and...
none of those bikes are Muscle Bikes either.

I hope I didn't come off like that... I only meant lowriders are hardly muscle bikes. My bike isn't a true muscle bike either...but I can go around a corner.
Really Dad has a good look and if he's happy, that's what counts.
