Not sure if you tried it, but my girlfriend put 26 inch wheels on a 24 inch Schwinn frame and they fit if you just deflate the back tire first

maybe we should tie her to a chair, prop her eyelids open with toothpicks and make her look at rat bikes t'll she's converted.

Welcome!

Just getting started, I would recommend a dremel. Good for cutting and polishing. Noisy and sparks flying. Get the one with a bunch of accessories.

Does your front wheel fit the 24" forks?

I can dig it! She has a huffy with a tanklight, but seems she hates them otherwise.

And like idiotboy said, I've had 26 inch tires ans rims fit a 24 inch frame, just by deflating the tire to squeeze it on, then bam, its on there. I've always had to keep some kind of support on there because of my size (6'3/300lbs), but with you being so light, I don't see any reason you couldn't go without it!

Picked up a gary fisher mountain bike today for $40, it's a little rough but rideable. I know that doesn't pertain to rat rods but it allows me to get out and ride while I worker on my schwinn corvette clunker.r

I bought this as just a frame, it's been painted (yuck) and I think it's been outside for years, so I'll have to figurre out how to replace/fix everything. This pic shows the 26" wheels, I just put them on to see if they would fit. I had to dremel off the rear fender bar, but I think it will work. I'll post updates as I go.

It looks like it has a 26" forks on it though. This is a 24" frame with a 26" forks on it. The rear wheel I will use that I have mocked up there is a 24" x 3.0" Kenda Flame tire.
