Ali C Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I FINALLY finnished my street/bmx/dirt jump/ trials bike mk2It rolls on 24" wheels and was origionally a diamondback lucky 24 cruiser (bought off leedstrials)I thought the rear seatstays were pretty ugly so I hacked them off and got iolo to weld on some new ones and also improve tyre clearence.I also made the dropouts smaller and lighter and cut the seat tube clamp area down and now use two bolts on the seat tube to clamp the seat (they need cutting down) it works really well.it rides really nicley, manuals like a bitch!!! I did a death grip manual for nearly 100 meters on my 2nd attempt. it also bunnyhops really well (maybe too well! I keep on looping out lol)I have got shimano hone cranks on, shimano dx bmx hubs front and rear and dx v brakes, an old school x-lite fly stem with a gusset open prison 3" rise steel bars (REALLY NICE) the seat is an sdg I beam affair and I stand on atomlab pedals.heres some pics:BEFORE:AFTER:let me know what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnagr Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I swear I already posted this... (if a mod removed it, I'm sorry)I'm just curious as to why you chose 24" over a BMX for street/park type riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 24 inchers need a bit of BB rise anyway, otherwise the BB is scraping along the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
