This is first build with the parts I had or purchased. 24in frame, 20in Lester wheels with 20x2.4 Odessey tires. It rides. Gotta watch where pedals are in turns. And gotta watch turns setting over rear wheel front can wash out easy.

Not sure about fenders yet. Thinking maybe matte black frame and add red bmx accents as I go. We have a swap meet coming up and may see what I can find. Kind of want a rat rod bmx look. Will probably swap handle bar to bmx sometime.

But the main thing I wanted to see was how the wheels and tires fit the frame. And I think it actually works. They don't look small with the big tires.
