« on: February 17, 2013, 09:36 PM »
Has anybody got one of these, with the 24" tuffs? What are they like to ride? Heavy?

Thinking of investing me self ;)

I have one, built with 24" tuffs, its a great bit of fun for street cruising and towpath riding. Its not particularly heavy but not exactly light either.
Depends what you're used to or what you want it for. I personally wouldn't use it as a race frame.

I have one too. I tried a set of tuffs but moved to spokes as they are much lighter!
Nice frame for rolling round on.  :daumenhoch:

Thanks for this guys, like yours Matt, looks the part ;) I was thinking of just riding back and forth to the pub really, I look a bit to large for my 20" bmx's these days :'(

What sort of money did you guys pay? Where did you buy from?

 Frame, Forks and Bars from Planet BMX/Coloured Tuffs.

Cant remember exactly what i paid, but i reckon altogether i've spent near £600 on it. So not really a cheap roll around.

Turns lots of heads though and always generates interest and questions form people.

Nice that Martin, I've just got one myself and got some black tuffs through this morning.  Was thinking along the same lines as yours as far as colour  :daumenhoch:
