Does anyone have photos of such a setup?

Some of the Felt cruisers came with that setup stock. Quickbrick in front (26") and thickbrick in the rear (24").

Do some searches; it's been done a billion times. The usual move is to run a fatter rear tire to make up for the rear rim's decreased diameter, but if you're trying to change the stance dramatically, you can run a regular balloon-sized tire. They make the Thick Brick/ Quick Brick tires for this set-up; extra fat 24" rear tire and a regular 2.125" front, but the treads are the same...

I got that from an older thread, almost identical to yours:

Some dyno cruisers came like that. Also the electra sparker special.

Fairly fond of that setup. I am building one now with a narrow 26 front and a wide 24 rear. Here are some pics of ones I have done.

Great stuff NTC... I'm going to do the 26/24 setup on my DB Drifter...
