I purchased a 24" Schwinn Speedster frame to build up a Manta Ray clone. It has been since I was a kid along time ago to build a bike up from scratch. Just want to build it to have fun with and take to car shows in my 72 Chevy Cheyenne. Not looking to build it with all NOS parts, just want the look and feel.
Here are the items I am not sure of:
-Will a crank from a 26" Schwinn middle weight work or do I need to look for a crank from a 24"
-What would be the proper size for the handle bars, Ape Hangers or mid rise
-Really am clueless on rim actual size. I know I need a 24" rim, but width
Here is a picture of the frame I am starting with.
