I've got a white fork on my blue 24UK as well, I reckon it is a really good look. Such fun bikes and I feel less like I'm riding a kids bike then I do on my mod :)

Info on the frame
http://heatsinkbikes.com/?p=24inch

Not sure of the weight exactly. It's kinda hefty as it is because of the crappy cranks and big tires (both are gonna be changed when i get more $)

Cost wise, the frames are £250 from the UK. I had a lot of the other parts, so the total build wasn't bad at all

Just another question, is this bike ment for trials?? :dunno:

I ride trials on it :dunno:

Phillip,
Mr. Penut is selling his 24UK frame, front wheel, rear rim, and 24'' tires, bottom bracket, stem and bar for 500 bucks. This is a steal, since it would cost you at least 600 bucks to get just the frame to Canada from the UK. Andrew (Mr.Penut) is a very legit fellow, and rarely rides, and his stuff is in top shape.

PS. he lives in mississauga so you can see it in person, etc :wiggle:

We should ride in the summer if you end up getting a bike by then!

i jacked most of the parts from my pure to build this, so its in pieces. frame-fork will probably be for sale in a bit, havent decided for sure tho

ive never been much of a weight weenie so i dont mind the weight at all. like i said, im gonna swap out the cranks and tires when i get $

That's pretty sick that you live near me. Well i'm not totally sure yet and i'd have to wait for the summer to get it b/c i need some $. After exams i'm checking that sucker out, (unless it sells b4 that). Would you be willing to just sell the frame or are you set on getting rid of the 24" gear?

Ya we def. gotta ride during the summer :D (no way i'm not getting a bike, its been too long already!)
