Captain Scarlet Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm very tempted to go for some form of 24", still stuck whether to go down the trials/inspired route, or go for a jump style with sus forks up front. Can get some good deals on pretty much everything at work, including a set of Marzocchies written off a Banshee x, so cost wise its not too much for a fairly good set-up. Post yours up, I seriously need a ganders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cultiv8ed_mike Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 You could go the 24" bmx route: (Felt Brink 24") I've been riding mine more than my trials bike recently. The whole bike was £230 delivered and is great for a bit of street/skatepark/bmx track. Had to change the rear rim though has they are made of cheese and added a few things off my inspired to make it pimper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Not trials, but if it was slightly lighter and had slightly lighter gearing it would be a beast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 My inspired My old 24" street/park bike I'm actually really enjoying the Inspired for skate park stuff, rides really well. Get an inspired, chuck some gears on it, and you've got a proper decent all round beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todge Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Heres a few Ive ridden/built. My Curtis - years ago! Come to think of it, the Curtis was actually 26". I had an Ashton which was 24", but no pics The first frame I built. A frame I built for someone else. Is there still an interest in steel 24' frames? I know theres the Marino frames, but I dont know of any others now? Leeson and Curtis still make them? May look into producing a few more if theres interest?

Dan Clark Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Leeson gave up a few years ago, not sure whether Curtis still make any or not, they would certainly be a custom order and I've never seen or heard of one. You should definitely get on it, Chris Ellison from around here has one of your old frames and it looks lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 May look into producing a few more if theres interest? Can you do a seatless alu frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Can you do a seatless alu frame? Pervert. There's definitely still interest dude! Lots of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Assuming you could make them cheap enough to compete with the Marinos (as in, you could be more expensive because they're made here etc, but not much more expensive because people are cheap skates) then there'd be loads of interest...

Skoze Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Use some quality steel too, that's the one thing putting me off a Marino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
