deacon, i tried that very thing (20" youth crank and chainring) on the Molotov Reloaded cruiser pictured below (still the adult crank and ring in the photo, though), but i still had to mount the engine way up high to clear the pedals. that approach did give me more room, though, and without the engine, it left me with a fun bike that's easier to pedal up all the hills in my neighborhood (the Morini engine is wider than the China Girls.)
