the head angle is probably for front suspension, so i would say no, as fitting cruiser forks would alter it alot,

those leaf cycles frames are kind of aimed at the rigid fork street riding market I think, like NS bikes and Norco I think.
So Id say a 24 "cruiser fork and bars would be ok... just guessing though.

doesn't LEAF do a rigid fork? DMR do one that has longer blades to account for the suspension friendly geometry and On-One do a carbon one.

As 20/26 said DMR do rigid forks that have a suspension geometry, look a little odd though.
Quite a high front end, with no springy forks.

It wont work russ, 24 inch wheels and 24 inch forks will probably have the cranks hitting the floor :)

you could fit dmr switchblade forks, they are adjusted for suspension height,
