looking for a specific bike...
26 inch for wheel size
..not sure about the right frame size but i'd assume it would be 50=54cm keeping in line with the wheel size
and in this exact style
https://0.tqn.com/d/bicycling/1/0/r/5...leigh_side.jpg
i've seen one or two advertised on ebay overseas but non here in Australia unfortunately
anyone know of a brand that makes bikes like this?
on a side note all the 'cruiser' styles i've seen all seem to have a larger wheel size which isn't really practical for me (and i'm often told only mountain bikes use anything lower than 700c...)
help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Here, read this, too. And be careful. These bikes are addicting.

Why isn't a larger wheel size practical? Where are you getting your information?
