1968 Schwinn Typhoon

I started out with this original paint frame, fork & guard & added everything else. Just recently added this 24x3 wheel in the back with a 3 speed nexus. Of course I had to do some stretching of the frame to squeeze it in along with notching the guard & spacing out the sprocket.

is the tire 26x3 and?

Do you think the frame would need to be altered on a balloon frame to use a 26" tire?

The rear is a 24x3 and the front is a 26x2.125. Most frames will need to be altered

Nice, clean looking bike you have. Love the fat tire.
