I would say the BB is about 5" off the ground. I used a short crank and i think i might go a little longer

I don't know if you can see it but the BB is not round. this is from me setting on it. i added the tabs for more strength.

i took an old hub and ground the out side of it to fit the old BB. the freewheel i
fixed to freewheel both ways.What i get by doing this is a good chain line.

I would like to know how I'm doing? this is my first bike build.
I am having way to much fun
 
Looks really great so far. I was planning on using a similar driveline on the stretch burrito Im building now for the buildoff. The lines you created with the extra tube really make the bike flow nicely. The gussetts are also a great addition and add nice strength. Keep it goin!
 
I AM SO F@#$%^& JEALOUS THIS CRUISER IS BADDASS. YOU MADE IT LOOK SO SIMPLE, I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF BUILDING ONE LIKE THIS. I'M WORKING ON A STRECH FOR MY SON. IT'S A 20" BIKE, BUT IT WILL BE SIX FEET LONG. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I WILL SEE YOU THERE SATURDAY. DONT FORGET THE CHEESE AND CRACKERS.
 
Had some time to do some more work to day. added the sun and started the 6 pack rack

Trying to go with a surfer idea. If you look at
the BB I have a wave. At the seat tube the
sun. I hope to make wood finders for it and
a skimboard rack.
 
This bike looks great i really like the little details. Are you by chance from Minnesota?
