I am converting this Kuwahara Ranger: 23.5 - 24" frame with 26" wheels but its a tad too high with my Townie Electra seat, the distance between the rails and the bottom of the seat is just the distance I would need plus a tad more. I can put up with it, but its a bit of a tippy toe situation. Looking for the same seat but shorter deck height, would have been nicer if it was a 22" frame. Seat post is 25.3mm not the 25.7mm I had as well that did not fit. The seat has the old school, cheap clamping, two bolt mechanism, bog standard. The integrated posts might be something to look at, but that money out, not money in.
Backstory is I paid $30 for the frame without wheels, from a community bicycle shop, makes me feel good supporting them, though I could have held out for longer looking for discarded bikes but few and far between in big sizes, at most I was willing to drop $100 from the online classified marketplaces of the interwebs.
Steel with workable shifters that shifted but the housing was frayed, pedalable, brakes fixable with easy adjustment, cantilever
but easily swapable with the 4 pair of v-brakes and countless v-brake levers (different pull ratios)
Thing was I do not need to pile 2 more wheels onto the pile I am trying to get rid of so I saved $10 from $40. Get rid of means, throw away the bad and semi bad, keep the good ones but reasonable, like 2 sets of 26 and one set of 700. Sane and rational, not two dozen. I got 8 handlebars, 5 big tote boxes of ebike and bike stuff. May need to grab the controller bin, might have broke my cont, think its just a phase touching steel or phases touching. Hope its not controller, just phases on using silicone wire. ta moved enough today to make it a 98.5% epic day, not 100% like the past month.
Something interesting I found was old school lips that were bolted down, metal tabs that need to be undone in order to take the front wheel off.
The rear dropouts look easy to make ta's for. Nice flat surface with two bolt holes per side.
The black phase wires were hk silicone, not a smart move on my part. Now I know where all my silicone wire went. Was looking for it the other day.
I ordered some ptfe teflon out of cali, he sells guitar stuff (pots, switches), reputable fella. When a shipment went astray, he stepped up.... thats the shit one remembers. Two-fer, I didnt say a word.
