cruiser or 24 advice

(1/4) > >>

Zoidberg:
since i saw them i wanted to try out what a big bmx would be like (are they 24's or cruisers? what do you call them?) and now i've come across someone who has one for sale

it's definitely a raw haro backtrail frame and forks, i found a pic off the net and it looks the same (below) but i'll get one of the actual thing this week and post it up

all the parts on it look pretty shite or very old but i have most of the bits i'd want to exchange on it in my spares box

i think i'd only want the frame, forks, wheels, tyres from it but the guy's asking £275 all in, i think i'll haggle him down for just the bits i want

the front wheel was a quanda hub if i remember...

what is the going rate for frame, forks, wheels, tyres of this size second hand?

do you use normal bmx bars on them or smaller ones?

if you have one, do you run pegs on it?

any advice or whatever would be good really




this isn't the bike on offer but it is the same frame and forks

Sasha:
That bike is easily 10 years old. Nowhere near worth £275. Depending on condition I would maybe pay £80.

dude...:
^^^what tom said. that thing would be heavy as fuck too.

ive not ridden a 24 but i like my 22, it feels close enough to a normal bmx but feels better for boosting stuff on. maybe try get a faction second hand or maybe a sunday 24. fit and a few other companies have done 24s in the last 5 years or so, something more modern would probs be better tbh

CARROTFVCKER:
i love my sunday model c

Everyone else covered the rest, but people do tend to use smaller bars, but not by as big of a margin as in the past. a few years back cruiser bars would have been 5.5 rise, but not it doesn't seem uncommon on freestyle 24's to see 8inch or 8.25.

I know a dude that does handrails on one, so pegs all the way.
