Welcome Tony and nice builds for sure. Build in place even when safeguards are lifted. Many extremely nice builds on this forum took place in kitchens, family rooms, carports and urban ally's, so why not a balcony? Build what you want, where you are with what you've got, or can obtain/fabricate!
I am trying something these are 24" wheels on a 26" frame , I am a senior and don't care about speed but I like power.
I am going to make this fork a truss fork and add a stainless side scrambler exhaust pipe, will post pic when I get that done
Well, the 24's will let you turn sharper.

Yes I have to work on my cranks, if you look at my cranks on the red bike I had to modify, I could still snake them through as a one piece crank , I will do that last after my sprockets are lined up in case of and adjustments.
Thank you , It started with the back wheel I wanted a free wheel sprocket on both sides, I don't like to pedal and drag all the drive train with me. I couldn't find one, so I have been intimidated about lacing a wheel from scratch, if I could do this I would build the bike. I did it with 10 gauge spokes and my fear was gone !
Tony, talk or email Lynne at MBrebel she builds heavy duty freewheels with her own System which incorporates drive sprocket and disk brake. Lynne gave me one of her freewheels which was a return from a customer who had cross threaded a mounting hole and snapped off yhe screw. Her wheels are top quality. I am the same way, so used to a freewheel at a stop. Kick the crank back into a power position.
I bought my front wheel with drum brake from Lynn , I do ride my bike often without the engine running. If I am around a bunch of people I will pedal to a more remote location. I like to have fun knowing I am not disturbing anyone, sometimes its not possible but I do try.
