Converting a Tiara pro with 20" (406) wheels?

Hi,

What problems might I have using a Tiara Pro frame with 20" wheels. This would basically be my really cheap-can-put-it-in-a-suitcase-Quest-like conversion bike.


Would that work with this Downtube suspended fork?

I see two problems:

1) I can imagine that the bike is either tilted too far forwards or backwards. I'm hoping with the new fork, this won't be too much of a problem.

2) It will be somewhat of a challenge to figure out how to get brake calipers on the rear swing arm to work. Any ideas here? (I could try to mount disk brakes...).

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Charles
