[QUOTE=schwinnbikelove]I'm going to pick up an old Schwinn cruiser frame (you know, 70's fillet brazed, HEAVY) and see if I can fit my Surly/Velocity Dyad fixed wheels on it. I have this vision in my head of building it up with old school BMX anodized parts. Whether or not I will do anything with it will be a different story, but I have the parts now to build it up with fairly original old cruiser stuff. Also, I have a ton of N.O.S. forks, I see this as having a cantilever stud fork. Hmmm

Um, as far as wheels go, you are going to be able to fit a set of 100/110 hubs on that baby. Same as standard bmx stuff. In fact, you should pick up a wheelset that is made for the Redline Monocog. I think JensonUSA has them for relatively cheap and they use Redline BMX hubs.

As far as a canti-fork on the front, take a look at one of my recent projects below. Screwed up the geometry a bit, but the extra braking power is definitely welcome. You can see more on my posts here, here, here, and here.

I recently picked up a '71 Schwinn cruiser, geared 5 speed in the back, but built up with knobbies and BMX riser, caliper brakes, etc. I can't find much info on it and am wondering if it was someones early foray into mountain biking, or a mutant BMX project, or a factory build. I'll try and post a pic or two later.
