I look forward to some guidence... hahahaha thank you in advance
 
The AMF frame should be compatible with the current common coaster bike crank bearings and wheels, although you may have to enlarge the front dropouts. The steer-tube length on the fork may be too short. :|
 
thanks for the advice.. with a little rigging her she is so far...

but I also tightened the handelbars real good until I can get a longer fork...

I am in love with her though..
