:lol: thanks derorman. i figured that id need a balloon ladies schwinn frame made from the 60s on back, a 20" blade fork, a good amount of tubing, and exact measurements to get it right.
Hey Stretch. The rear end on this Ladie Wards Hawthorne has really wide rear stays, perfect for a big tire. It's a 24" frame that was skiptooth equipped but never ran the #'s. If you can use any of this let me know.
i already got one 24" bike, and too many 26" wheels. :wink: id like to keep it full sized. thanks tho walker! got any 26 girls frames?
bumpity!
ok, SOMEONE here has to own one..

I do not own one, but my friend does. hopefully I can make it to his place this weekend and get some pics and measurements for you. The one I will be measuring is a Schwinn based one.
nopes. what is it?
thatd be AWESOME if you could! i need the measurements on a schwinn. id need everything, including height from the bottom of the steer tube and from the bottom of the crank case. :mrgreen:Meeba said:stretch said:ok, SOMEONE here has to own one..

WOO! think we could meet up and i could measure it out myself? :mrgreen:
sorry but no i dont. are you talking about BSA eagles?
okay....you didnt mention what year and heres a simple way to get it right w/o having someone else do all the leg work for the numbers(this is how i lay out all my frames so i know i wont have any clearance issues....i guess kids just want everything done for them nowadays )....
take that picture and do the math to bring it to scale(hint you know the wheel in back is a 26" and the front is a 20" that will break down into actual numbers so it can be measured to 100% accuracy but im not going to do it for you since ive done all the thinking already )

)thank you, sensor, i thought i was the only one that did it that way! i know theres a way to do all the drawing/blueprint stuff on the computer, but i dont know how to do that, and i like to draw. im the guy holding a little ruler up to the screen to get the proportions right. even thought of making a cardboard cutout of myself in a riding position. :lol:

i thought about that, i just wasnt sure if that would throw off my measurements, but thanks! how am i supossed toprint that out full-scale?
