cruisers take 24" wheels (and occasionally 26"). actually, depending on the frame design, it might be possible to fit a 650c wheel into a 24" cruiser frame.

That might not be a bad idea for a fun little project.

I want to see an old schwinn krate with a big back wheel, a little front wheel and track drop handlebars, just to freak out all the squares

i think if i do this, i'm gonna try a 24" rear with a 20" front. frankenfunnybike!

yaaaaayy. consider me satisfied. awesome bike shiznaz. i'm still passively collecting parts in accordance with my "one project at a time" goal...but this post is definetly moving the BMX monstrosity up on the priority list. thanks for proving that a 6 foot 2 person could pull this off.

Those softride's are pretty pimp....I was thinking about getting one

That was my dream bmx frame when I was growing up. I wanted it sooooooooo bad. At 24 I'm already feeling old, some might consider that frame vintage.

Cruisers have 24" wheels. I race one, and it's heaps fun.

When I was a kid, I put a Schwinn Yo! scooter wheel on the front of my Kuwahara Magician. It was awesome, my plastic pedals were constantly scraping the ground, but I thought it was so sweet. :)
