thanx kev. Just threw it together for now...the wheelie king is back!!! This thing is a blast!! :D :D :D
 
Was gonna save this for the build off but just cant wait!! 20 inch Schwinn cruiser frame, 26 inch springer with 20 inch rims. Thought about a 16 inch on front but like the look of the 20 with the longer forks. Made a fender extender from a crossbar off an old set of bmx bars. Now I need a non-schwinn slick.Think Ill strip it down and paint it something metallic-y. Got the light on the sissybar too!!!

Sweeeet !!! - the 26" springer looks like it fits well, ie: not too chopper-ed out, but stretched enough to be cool. I agree with your choice of a 20" front over the 16". 16's are for racing pixie bikes!

This bike just cries out for a full-on, metalflake candy paint.

How's the handling with this combo? I've been considering something similar. In the past I've tried 10-speed forks (27") but that resulted in evil, evil handling. The springer looks promising.
