Would this work with a two ring chainring?

If what you are trying to say is it should work then that is good. Just in case you missed it I was talking about the chainring and adding a front derailleur.You can use any type of rear derailleur on any type of multi speed rear cog, the thing is that you have to make multiple adjustments to get the gearing just right. The reason I say this is because it took alot of adjustment to get my Genesis super 32' cruiser to gear just right, I put a Shimano 7 speed derailleur on a 5 speed rear freewheel cog and it took patience and trial and error. I don't think there's a right or wrong way to do things on bicycles. I would've never of thought that I could have a 65T chainring with a 5 speed freewheel cog on a single speed coaster brake cruiser

Ok I changed out the chainring (53T/39T), but still waiting on the shifter to install the front derailleur.
Does the chain length look right in these two pictures (Top on the large chainring and smallest cog, Bottom on largest chainring and largest cog). The reason I ask is because this is the original chain which when I measured around both of the biggest gears it looked to be two links longer as it should measure.
Before (old chainring)
After (new chainring)

It looks fine when the chain is big ring/large cog. Shift it to little ring / small cog and as long as the derailleur doesn't leave any chain slack, you are a-ok.
I would avoid a SIS front shifter because it won't allow you to trim the front derailleur to avoud the chain rubbing the derailleur cage. Also, that shifter is designed to work with mountain/hybrid front derailleurs. The cable pull ratio of road front derailleurs is slightly different. A simple friction shifter will work best.Would this work with a two ring chainring?

Here it is on both of the smallest gears.
This is the front derailleur that I have for it (SRAM Via Bottom Pull)

Chain length is perfect. That via fd will play nice with the SIS shifter, but you may get a little rub if you are cross chaining. Maybe not since the chain is swinging across a narrower cassette, thus less deflection, than an 8,9, or 10 speed setup. I would have preferred a friction shifter, but I think you're going to get it working just fine.
Ran into one slight problem, dang it I bought the wrong derailleur..... Oh crap that sucks
So I now have a Shimano Sora FD-3400 front derailleur coming.

Got my new derailleur and thought I still got the wrong one again. Turned out that my BB axle was to long, so it made the outside chainring stick to far out. I was able to flip the axle around which brought the ring in closer to the frame. I still really need a shorter crank axle because when I have the chain on the big ring and small cog I still get a little bit of chain rub every so often. I also ended up using a friction shifter for the left side.
I also installed the grips I got from
ifitsfreeitsforme. They were his second sample of the new ones he will have soon.
Been also thinking that the fenders need some paint slung on them. I would throw some black on them if I did it and then put red strips back on them. What do you all think?

I agree on the fenders, need some paint. maybe black with a brown/tan stripe would look good too?

Not feeling the color combo of black fender with brown/tan stripe.
When you get that pack of zombies after you, you're gonna wish you were on a 27" speedster....Got my new license for on the bike.

That is why I changed out the front chainring and made it a double ring setup.When you get that pack of zombies after you, you're gonna wish you were on a 27" speedster....

Would these pedals look out of place on this bike?
or would these look better?

I went with the black pair, but I will paint the silver section on them red.
It has been sitting for a while now....
