jump bike to cruiser

[THIRSTYKIRSTY]

can someone in the know please advise me weather this jump frame would be ok to build up into a race cruiser

i know it will have to have a back wheel with a 135 hub and a disc brake

but would it ride ok with cruiser forks and 24 inch wheels ,,it is desighned to take 26 or 24 inch wheels

any advise b4 i buy a cruiser frame

the head angle is probably for front suspension, so i would say no, as fitting cruiser forks would alter it alot,

try it as ya never know
but is prob set up for long travel forks

[generallee]

those leaf cycles frames are kind of aimed at the rigid fork street riding market I think, like NS bikes and Norco I think.
So Id say a 24 "cruiser fork and bars would be ok... just guessing though.

doesn't LEAF do a rigid fork? DMR do one that has longer blades to account for the suspension friendly geometry and On-One do a carbon one.

[fouronethreeoh!]

As 20/26 said DMR do rigid forks that have a suspension geometry, look a little odd though.
Quite a high front end, with no springy forks.

It wont work russ, 24 inch wheels and 24 inch forks will probably have the cranks hitting the floor

you could fit dmr switchblade forks, they are adjusted for suspension height,
