A lot of the high dollar Electra Cruisers , like the 8 Ball , and the Ghost came with 24”x3” tires and wheels .
A 24” Cruiser 1 , as long as the frame is big enough , would be a great platform to build a custom Cruiser .
I’d go wider in the rear , , with a 1.75 tire up front . Maybe add some mini Ape bars ? springer fork ? Brooks B-67 ?
With the 24” , you’re already lower than a 26”
Kirby...Have a B67 on way now...looking at Ape bars....do you have any idea how I would size up the right set of springers? I imagine the sizing here is uber important like head tube diameter and length of fork for a 24" wheel, etc....they do look great on an Electra though...
