Skyhawk Tank Frame GT2A-S Dimensions

[Hors D'oeuvre]

Anybody have significant experience with the Skyhawk tank frames? I am wondering specifically if I can fit a thick brick tire in the rear stays. Anybody have one they can measure for me??? Many thanks...

Hello im also curious on this.

I plan to run a 24x2.25 rim and a thickbrick with a sturmy archer internal geared hub/drum brake.

Dont want any complications, should this work fine?

It's set up for mtb

Im still a little confused, would this hub fit on the bike no problems?

This is my first ever bike build, let alone motor-bike.
plan on going Grubee frame, a 66cc chinagirl jackshafted to a 5 speed internal geared hub brake hub, will this hub not fit in the frame?

and what sized rim would one go for a 24x3 back wheel, wanting to use a felt thickbrick and really dont want it to not fit in the frame

In between the rear stays....measured from inside to inside is 136 mm

It's listed as 135mm which is a fairly common hub size
