Not all 24" bikes are the same geo as the inspired. You see to be generalising quite a lot there. I've ridden very streety 26" bikes, over the years, and in my time out of trials, I was still riding a BMX a lot. I can honestly say my 24" leeson is the most fun bike I've ever owned for streety stuff, but I have it set up with a 75mm stem and 2.5" risers in a very upright position. It's very short, and has very streety geo.
