OK I'm hooked (or at least interested)

The wife and I did a ride with the West Palm Beach "FreakBike Militia" and we had fun. Enough to where we'll do it again.

So, being roadies, we throw most of our $ at our roadbikes but I'd like to customize the Schwinn cruiser she rode but on the cheap. I see "springer" forks for 26" wheels on the web for ~50$. I figure that's a cost effective and significant change all in one.

So....Is it just a fork swap? Do I lose the front brake (cantilevers)?

Other thoughts?
