Just found this thread as i havent been on the forum for a while & ive been wanting to see the T24, and ive gotta say: i love it! I'm still hoping to get one, although 22" TT seems a little long as I'm currently running 21.75". Do you reckon it will hold up to park duties as well? Or would i have to go for a SX24??

Good work on that build, i'd go for singlepeed & (skinnier) different forks though.

UPDATE : Got sorted out with Curtis forks and a Tioga saddle at the bikeshow. Looks a lot better so thought i'd bang some more up to date pictures up. Soon to be set up with Tioga 24" rims once they arrive :D

Nice bike, Boon :P Looks really swish.

If you're looking for another diddy, light seat, Scott's Team XC (I think, I'll look in work tomorrow) is similar to that Tioga one, but it's a bit lighter, I think, and it's got a lower profile to it. The rails are sorta funny; the seat-post sits quite deeply into the seat, if you get me, so it looks pretty fly :P They just look cool too...

But yeah, swish bike :D
