Years ago when I was a kid about 1965 a neighbor kid sat on the floor of his garage for about a month cutting re threading and fitting 26 inch spokes into a 24 inch wheel. I forget what the offset was but they ended up in the 26 inch Schwinn frame. To this day I have no idea why he did this, but I do remember riding it and riding it down a hill. Starting with both offset hubs low you would just go up and down but because the tires must have been different as you went it started to rock front to back and at about 15 to 20 MPH on a hill was really something. It came out of the barn every memorial day to ride in the parade for about 20 years and then I never saw it again.
Very nice job on this one!!!
