Velocino

Not sure this really belongs here; but the other Velocino thread I could find were in here...

So, I had bought this big pile of bikes. One of them was an old Huffy girls cruiser. Like this:



It's a factory brazed frame (really!) so I thought it would be pretty easy to make it into a velocino. Maybe something kind of like this :

So, I measured the frame so I could plan where and how much to cut.



'Real' velocinos seem to use 12" front wheels. But, I don't have one of those. I have a 'nice' 16" chrome front wheel from a jogging stroller. So, I drew that in there. It's maybe not so original looking, but the geometry kind of works.
