Sorry to bump an old thread, but thought I'd give a small update to the guys who helped me out. For the longest time, I used the 24x1 3/8 wheels, which made the bike feel tiny. Yesterday I managed to get a lovely pair of Schwalbe City Jets and a pair of 7 speed alloy wheels, so decided to try...

Awesome, they've got exactly what I need and the prices are reasonable too! Thank you very much :) Just gotta wait for payday now...

Another update, added a riser stem and connected the brakes/gears, changed the rear derailleur, added a chain, sprayed the handlebars black and adjusted for size. I think she's looking pretty good! Still need to get/fit bar tape for comfort, also need to make some decals...

Small update, I've 'flop 'n' chopped" the handlebars, sprayed a few components black and put a half decent seat on. She's starting to look like a nice little retro commuter now! (Although purists are gonna hate it, I'm really happy with how it's turning out) Apologies for the crappy...

Hi all, you might remember a while back I posted asking if I could fit 26" wheels on a 24" wheeled bike, well thank you for the help but I decided to bite the bullet and just fit it with 24" wheels and sell it on. Anyways, finally finished the paint job on the frame, still have a few...

Okay, I've measured, but bear in mind my tape measure sucks so these may be off by a centimetre or two... dropouts to the brake bridge: 33cm dropouts to the chainstay bridge: 35cm Front dropouts to fork crown: 32-33cm So what would you recommend? Thank you so much for the help :)

Meh, seems like an awful amount of work for what will become a bike for commuting to work. :( Might just keep original size wheels on, problem is, the original wheel size (24x1 3/8 ) are quite hard to come by. Do you reckon 24x1.25 wheels will fit? These might be stupid questions...

Hate to double post, but I've finally found a tape measure and the frame is a 50cm. Not super small, so should be okay for me once it's restored (Assuming I can adjust the handlebar height... lol) Cheers for the help, I'll post pics of the restore if anyone wants :)

Thanks man, I'm hoping they fit, I don't have a tape measure handy but I reckon with 26" wheels this bike will be a good size for me (as I'm so short... lol ) With the 24" wheels the crossbar comes about 3 inches below my crotch... I'm replacing the seatpost, but the one in the pic is as far...

Sorry for the double post but here's a pic of it next to my kitchen counter, to give you a better idea of scale: I suppose I could raise the handlebar stem an inch or two to make it more comfortable... Cheers for the help dude!

26 inch MTB wheels fit okay, it's the MTB tyre that takes up the space. Here's a pic of the frame with the 24" rear wheel on, it looks like there's enough space for a 26" which is why I'm asking. :D I'd love to restore this bike as it holds a lot of sentimental value to me, if 26"...

Hi everyone, first post on the site but I've enjoyed reading some of the threads on here, and thought this would be the best place to post. Need a little advice, I found an old Harrier City Sprint 10-speed bike in a cupboard at my mothers, (I think it's from the late 80's) and after years of...
