I havnt got a 24" on hand to measure it up properly but i dare say probably not, im still thinkin of doin some form of dropout extension as i really wanna get a low profile to the bike! But we will see!

 

[whitefiretiger]

That would make it a bit hard to figure out.

 

[2Can86]

Haha yup it sure would, i'll proly need to get one soon tho!

Not much progress today as time was severely lacking so only managed to extend the headtube!

 

[whitefiretiger]

Looking good.

Yea I'd probably find a wheel before too much longer

 

[2Can86]

I'm tryin to do it on the cheap, building a house is pretty much sucking all my funds at the moment, i frequent local tip shops so am just waiting for an old 24" to come up, even if i dont use the rims it will at least gimme a platform to work off.

 

[whitefiretiger]

I hear you; I've got some of my bikes & parts on craigslist to try to get funds for my current projects.

 

[2Can86]

Still havnt got some 24"s yet, but if my measurements are correct the rear wheel sould fit with no issues, although i did have to remove the bracing from the topside of the rear triangle, again i dont believe this will be an issue!



I'll repost the pre-chopped photo to give some comparison on how much has changed!




Relatively happy with how its turned out so far, its taken on a much chunkier appearance in my opinion!

 

[whitefiretiger]

I think its looking great.

If you want/ need you could probably add the brace back in on the top.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Looks so much better, really nice flow to the frame now!

Luke.

 

[2Can86]

Cheers guys, and yeah if there is a bit of flex in the frame i will most likely add the bracing back in at a more appropriate spot!
