i was told that if i added a front suspension, the headtube angle will make my frame very fragile, of ripping...0 -
Hmm i think i would stick with rigids. You notice that at the moment, the chainstays are parallel with the ground, so when a suspension fork is added, they will be pointing upwards due to the added length of the forks. This alters the bottom bracket height and generally messes up the geometry of the bike. You could do it, but it wont ride as nicely as it does, and you do run the risk of snapping the head tube.

No it won't be ok.
It's a 26" Cruiser, made for <b>non-suspension corrected forks</b>.
Put suspension on it and it'll ride like crap and probably break.
