Could a 20" bmx be converted to a 24" bmx??? ( cut and shut job )

[martylaa]

Well what ya reckon, say if you had 2 old bmx's would it be possible to do a cut and shut and make a 24" cruiser out of the bikes???
I was thinking surely they would be the same geometry as a 20" but with added length on the forks, rear drops and the seatpost???
What ya's think???

[brettypeeps]

I reckon that would be an interesting job... the forks would be relatively easy.  The back of the bike will have to have alot shallower angle from the seatpost so you can get the bigger wheel in though.  Enjoy

It has beenm done before, I remember seeing somebody do a haro as your saying it's on here somwhere.

There is a little work to do but I think sawzall could maybe help you with info etc as I think he done the haro

They do them already  made ,Marty did you not see the link I posted mate 

Knight bicycles ,, Edd Ferri ,,custom tuffs , profile repops ,repop T/A's  etc , etc

mind you you'd probably have to forevvvvvvvvvvvvvvver for it to arrive , going off his previous customers waiting times 

[martylaa]

aye i hear ya chris mate
dunno just thinking about something its always bugged me so just put the question out there, not sure how much bigger a 24" hutch ( for example ) frame against  20" frame is???
i.e length of the forks and tubes compared to a 20 say

24" Hutch Judge anyone

[hunterdubber]

Weren't  all the Hutch cruisers made by MCS

the XL24 was and they're cheap as chips to buy ,

damn sight cheaper than getting someone to do you a custom built bike

even if made out of a couple of Raiders 

I'd weigh up the cost , it's only gonna be worth any value to yourself ,,,,as it wouldn't be at all collectable (non original )
as with all retro/ custom stuff

but would be a damn good project , and done right , they don't half look cool   

[hunterdubber]

Hmmmmmm

just had a couple of interesting  pm's with Marty 

and told him to get his arse in gear 


Could be something very nice at the end of this pipeline
