Never finished this one. Passed it on to another fella with a short missus.

Interesting. I have a 24" Varsity and Sprint that I have been kicking around what to do with. I have at least one set of bolt on 26" alloy rimmed mountain bike wheels in the basement. Might be time to try a test fit on one of them.
Did you have to cold set the frame to get them to fit?
