My first build was a Skykomish Marble Point. Still the easiest build I have done. They are sold new thru Costco. Got mine at a garage sale for $30. Craigslist is a sure bet if you really search thru it.

Any older diamond frame or beach cruiser with the "older" 1"-1 1/4" tubes will be a sure fit.

c'mon, jr, get yer act together and figure out how to make it work! don't give me that crap about you only being 12 years old and yer just a kid. when i was yer age i was building bikes, buildin' ramps, go carts, fireworks...

seriously, you've got all the long distance help you need from this forum, and you seem like a smart enough rug rat to figure things out, so keep at it.

but, if you can't handle doing it yourself, instead of throwing away all your money on junk bikes that "wah, they don't fit, wah, wah..." then send me a check, and i'll send you a bike...

What happened to the JC Higgins? That looked like a winner to me. Bairdco is right. Send pictures, keep things simple and we can help you. One step at a time. Overcoming the obstacles is part of the fun and satisfaction of saying you built it yourself.
