>My goal is to build a simple fun comfortable versatile bike that is exciting and makes me feel like a kid again.I'm having a little difficulty figuring out exactly what you envision for this bike as far as performance.
Screwing around in a park like a 26" BMX? A livelier version of a cruiser? A slower, heavier, roll over everything kind of bike? Do you want sharp dynamic handling? Or do you want more stability that will keep you riding straight even if you're drunk?
You might just post what your current SS looks like, and we could pitch ideas that are not it.
Pic somewhat related. It's Marshawn Lynch Beast Mode Ripper from SE. available in 26 to 29. Possibly available for a test ride from your QBP offering LBS.
tl/dr
High COG vs Low COG.
Dynamic stability vs lively handling.
>>1480639Is road performance that much of a priority? The rest of the build isn't exactly tilted that much in that direction.
