24 bikes dont make a 24" specific frame? do you mean a frame with 24" wheel v brake mounts?
the dmr rhythm is a 24" specific frame, it cant take 26" wheels

what frame do 24 bikes make that is 24" specific?
maybe its just the name...
da bomb cr8 has adjustable brake bosses
whats the point of having a 24 specific frame? seems pointless to me

Im pretty sure that on one make a 24 specific gimp.
They whole point of haveing a frame designed around a 24inch wheel is the fact you wont have to conpensate anywhere if you absoulity have to run a 24 wheel and only want to do it that way.

Specialized big hit are about hte only DH frame currently designed around a 24inch rear wheel.
The Rythm is a singlespeed bike, and if you want singlespeed, buy a DJ cruiser and mod it like I did :)

24" wheels are for strength I think. but if you like their handling , try a bmx cruiser with a short fork or better still
Go hard core RIGID , even get longer rigid forks??
if your game, it'll get you smooooooth.
The general Lee looks cool, see also a few of the Diamondbacks
complete bike for less than $500 bucks new, break it and upgrade it .
I want a BMX , but not a HUFFY :P :shock:

Point taken.
The DK General Lee looks farkin mad - and cheap, how much does a rythm go for?
Singlespeed = zen
rythms are around 1300 i think
rythms are around 1300 i think
The complete bike is about $1600, but the frame only is ~$700.

I'm not 100% sure but I seem to remember this was a 24" Gimp. Well I know it's a Gimp, it's definitely full rigid and I'm pretty sure it was the 24". Oh well I'm ready to be shot down if I'm wrong.

"MADCORE"
with the DK, how much travel does that fork have?
That looks like its a 80/100mm Manitou, from memory.
My General Lee is running a monster set of Mozo R500's, they only have 4" but are really tall, so the bike steers like a barge, but it's still a sick bike to ride.
check out a dirt magazine, there is a brand called "Revelle" (i think thats how it's spelt, they make a 24" frame, and yeah Curtis, they look awesome too.. but you will pay some money getting it here, cant go wrong with a Rythm or even a cromo Norco 250 it's not 24" specific but it does have extreamly short chainstay's a 26" would only just fit in with a small tyre.

Heaps from Pommy companies such as....
www.revell-bikes.co.uk
www.curtisbikes.co.uk
Get the mag called 'Dirt'.
One of my friends was looking to bring Curtis into the country, they're absolutely sick bikes (who doesnt love cromo?), but they would've been too expensive to be competitive.

do u have any fact jay?? wank face.
u write so much yet u dont know anything.
poo face.
Hah, easy there boonga. He is right though, whilst the smaller wheels do have their downfalls, switching from 26" to 24" on my DJ has made things so much snappier to throw around, albeit with a slacker head angle.
