I just picked up a small 26" HT Santa Cruz Juliana frame and Duke fork for free (frame has a cracked chainstay that shouldn't cost too much to fix).
Thinking about building it up with some 24" disc wheels and shortened cranks for my daughter.
Anyone have thoughts on good rims for the build? I am looking at Alienation Deviant (415g), which CRC has for a good price but only in 36H, would prefer 28 or 32 to use something like circus monkey or Novotec hubs (cheap/ light).
I also need some tips on finding short cranks (around 150mm), perhaps even single ring as i am thinking either 1x9 or 2x9 with grip shifters.
The fork looks like it should work OK after a service....
Is there anything else i need to consider when building a 26" frame up with 24" wheels for a kid?
