24" 24UK frame

[B1105]

Coming soon to the states, a new 24" street/trials frame from HeatSink Bikes and MikeBike.

Geo:1040 WB
BB= +33
CS=375
HA=73 deg

[DanBowhers]

things look good, but plus 33 bb? I dunno about that...

[WhiteRavenKS]

yes you do dan. :)

[kobrakai]

that's a nice looking frame... i'd love to see one built.

things look good, but plus 33 bb? I dunno about that...

you need a higher bb rise when you have smaller wheels.

[BrettB]

looks like my next bike...any idea on price
and please tell they have different colors

[toyota200x]

I have been waiting for a bike like that to come to the US for a long time. I love the look of it.

[B1105]

It will be competitivley priced compared to the other 24" bikes out there (leeson, curtis, no more ashton). Price will be announced when they start making their way over.

BB is always preference as usual. Colors for now are blue only, spray paint?

[Anon.]

Is it actually going to have the same hand-made, super high quality construction that's made the Curtis and Leeson frames as famous and popular as they are? Not to mention the fact you can tweak the geometry more, which is gonna bump the price up to some extent...

any close-ups on the disk tab? nice bike btw

[DanBowhers]

I guess Im a bit confused, if you want a bice streetish trials bike 0 drop BB like on the Zebdis, etc. Seems like it makes sense? Drop it down from a 26" to a 24" it remains proprotinately lower if you do the same thing on 24's....

Id still hit it, price?

[Elan]

think about bmx bikes with bigger wheels dan..thats this.

[BrettB]

the heatsink site has a lil more info

[WhiteRavenKS]

price comparable to leesons huh? so it will be a sweet 1200 dollar frame.

[toyota200x]

price comparable to leesons huh? so it will be a sweet 1200 dollar frame.

That makes me sad. I want a 450 dollar frame.

[B1105]

By competitvely priced I meant not near the Leesons, under $500 most likely.

[WhiteRavenKS]

good to hear that instead of yikes mode.

[toyota200x]

By competitvely priced I meant not near the Leesons, under $500 most likely.

Woooo. I am glad to hear that.

[B1105]

Yea, sorry, I may have worded it weirdly. But the idea was to be able to offer a reasonably priced frame, where you arent plunging close to a grand and have the chance of regretting it. The tradeoff is you don't get a lot of the custom options like on the Leeson and Curtis, but I think a lot of people are fine with stock geo(especially for close to half the price). For the people who want that extra, Leeson and Curtis are still options.

[Mordax]

for under 500, i might just have to get one
ive been wanting to try a 24' but never had the $ for leeson

[dkoppric]

gotta get that new lesson seat though.......

[toyota200x]

gotta get that new lesson seat though.......

Yeah those are sweet.

[DanBowhers]

think about bmx bikes with bigger wheels dan..thats this.

i know, i just didnt know that bmx bikes had plus 33 mm bbs? I dont really know anything about frames for that matter. Just wish this one had v tabs.

[rocpyro]

It could be fun. so the only differences between a stock and a 24 is the wheel size? same crank length and use stock forks? how hard is it to find dece 24 rubberz? looks very interesting, I want to try one out. what happens if you put 24in wheels on a stock frame, crap geo?

[WhiteRavenKS]

crap geometry and good luck having brakes that work (unless disk). use a similar length fork. you can run short cranks if you want to help clear the front tire in crossed up stuff. there are a few alright 24" tires. considering you will be doing an urban application, the tire doesnt have to be all that great. holy rollers or those tioga's would be a good choice.

[TTownJon]

so what good 24" forks are there? the leeson looks dope, but no disk mount....

[rav]

Frame looks nice.

BTW I've designed & rode BT 24" model at 2000. Bike was funn but there weren't any 24" forks on the market, rims, tyres extremely hard to get ;-/
I decided to ride 26 then.

We are 6 year a-head and there are still hard to get any 24 parts :mad:

Enclosed some pic from 2000.

[trialswannabe]

hey rav ,
since 24" bikes are starting to get popular any chance bt will come out with a 24" bike? maybe a raven

[Yurich]

A long 24" frame? PLEASE!!!

[WhiteRavenKS]

kids bike forks. just run a regular mtn bike fork. get a px superlight in 400mm height and run a disk.

[DanBowhers]

What Kevin said, but it depends on your geo. My new "all around" bike (which includes as much trials as I ever plan on doing) will have 8 gears, spanish bb, a 72.5 degree head angle (420 mm fork)

Basicallty fork length is dependent (mostly) on H.A 24s are still rare. but you def. want a reasonably high BB + at least a 72 r 71 degree head tube angle. Other stipulations are also important, but those are some good 24" basics.

[Motorfiets1234]

on the first picture it looks like you have a bent rim?? wierd

[Matt Staples]

clive leeson will do whatever you want to a pair of pashleys. any mounts, any position, any colour £65 GBP, super cheap really. donno if he'll ship to americars?

[Gears.]

The new 24" looks preety swish man.
