Albeit a newer version but who’s making a frame nowadays something that will roll on 27.5 wheels preferred

Electra makes a cool, straight tubed cruiser with 29" wheels. Perhaps they have 27.5 now? My clunker is a '56 schwinn cruiser that I put an old Hannebrink inverted downhill fork on. I had to cut a 1" steer tube out of an OLD Rock Shox and fabricate a couple of shims, but it's rocking' and rollin'. I've got an old Marzocci Monster T and a clapped out Manitou Dorado that are looking for frames.

I had been thinking of the Schwinn route as my first bike @ 5yrs old was a 26” wheeled Black Schwinn I’m gonna try & hunt down a good frame might actually be the best thing I could do.

Thanks for the reply
