So I got ahold of a local bike co-op place with rooms full of various bikes stacked upon each other, and I plan on scouring them for frames this coming week, but I'm liking more and more the idea of using an existing 26" fork I have and making a goofy big wheeled bike.
Obviously it'll alter the geometry, I'm planning on that.
I'm not, however, planning on the headtube breaking. Has anyone used a set-up simliar to this, and noticed any structural problems with the head tube junction? From what I've seen, bmx frames are pretty beefy, but alonger lever is, well, a longer lever.
Suggestions, as always, are welcome. (about bikes, of course.)
