boon racoon Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hey chaps given all the interest in 24" frames lately and the aston goin out of production...thought i'd tell you that the Curtis 24 is now in production. Mine and Dan Slyfield's (individual clothing) are currently being made as the first 2 out. As my signature frame we've tried to cater for everything and bring in some new ideas. Here's all the options available. Toptube length - 22" - 23.5" (choice exact to the mm) Dropouts - horizontal or vertical Rear hub spacing - 135mm MTB or 110mm BMX Axle slot size - MTB Std : 10mm BMX : 14mm BMX All the usual brake, grear, grind plate etc options Plates now added above the chainstays (only available underneath previously) which stiffens the stays and strengthens the back end up. £549 with 1 year guarantee against total frame failure and free frame repair for life I will get mine soon and bang some pictures up Ta Boon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todge Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Toptube length - 22" - 23.5" (choice exact to the mm) ← Nice little phrase there :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deagledaddy Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Nice little phrase there :P ← ahahah I resisted quoting that when I read his post. I expect it will be a nice bike for thrashing around the streets and the like, but i will always feel they are a little pricey. Even if they are handmade etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Nice little phrase there :) ← haha well....if i'd written "choice to the exact inch" then you'd assume 22" or 23" only, and if i'd written the toptube length in MM no one would understand cos it's always given in inches :P :P The point is, you can have it 23.38"" if you want lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahouse Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 What about wheelbase and chainstay lenght? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 chainstays 380mm bb height = +0.75" (13.25" from floor) wheelsbase approx 1025 with curtis forks and 22.5" TT bear in mind this is with 24" wheels too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-A Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 This sounds very similar if not almost identical to the ashton maybe a bit shorter at the front, tha tfor a small child like me could be good, so It should be great...:D ← Isn't that slightly shorter stays than ashton? and slightly lower bb?

Tomm Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 wheelsbase approx 1025 with curtis forks and 22.5" TT ← That isn't really THAT short, considering it has chainstays which are shorter than a lot of 26" bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) That isn't really THAT short, considering it has chainstays which are shorter than a lot of 26" bikes. ← err :D lol. i don't understand why you said that tomm haha. what do you mean by that? isn't 1025 f**king short by todays 1200 stadndards? :D my curtis (26 inch) is 1005 which is shorter but the 24 inch wheels makes the bike flicky as anything. i'm having a 22" toptube because i want the wheelbase about 1015 and also because i like a short stem etc. i expect it'll feel short as f**k for anyone else to ride!

Tomm Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 err :D lol. i don't understand why you said that tomm haha. what do you mean by that? ← I just meant that it'll probably feel longer than something like a Zebdi, which has a similar wheelbase, but longer stays.

Trials Punk Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 As soon as I get enough dosh. I'll be buying one of these. One question though, if I had a 23.5 toptube length, with 380mm chainstays, +0.75 BB height and curtis forks, what would the wheelbase come to. Aproxx, just wondering. I have a lot of time to think about it, as I have no job. I'm definatly getting this frame as my base has now cracked so I'll ride that until I can afford the curtis.

When I was drawing my 1000mm 24" frame about a year ago, that had almost a 23" TT with a 73deg Headangle and a 74deg seat angle measures from the centre of both tubes. At a guess, under 1035. Draw it out and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 phil got one bare time ago :D ← if you're talkin about phil feeney...then no he didn't he got a curtis t1 26" with the brake mounts moved, which rides no where near as nice as 24" should :(" toptube is measured centre to centre and i believe the head angle is 73 degrees. why do you want it so long kyle?! i thought u were a streeter lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Actually seing as my base is about 1030 now. I think around 1020 would be fine. Can't wait to get another job now, just sending another two application forms off. Thats about 6 altoghter now. Harsh. all that writing is killing me right hand.
