[therock]

or 24 " dirt bike or 125 rc

[hazzajoe]

I have a standard 125rc.
Personally I think it's the best ride available in the world of Bmx. Light, strong ,forgiving,faithful etc. I love it. I'd like a blast on a 22" Holmes . On paper they sound really good 

[therock]

they do sound good . can only find 22"  on US sites and thy re in kit form frame forks wheels tyres for 750 or so dollars i think . would love a 125 rc though . always loved 24" alot more stable

22's are great fun but the word is (and several reviews have said the same) that the new Faction Almero is better and so are the Faction wheels and the new kevlar tyres.

The S&M is a tad expensive as well

Get a steel cruiser - the wheels are actually about 23" so not much bigger than the 22". There are so many more wheels and tyres available, and cheaper, for this size.

If its just for cruising with the nipper get a Raleigh bomber

You've got your stem on backwards Si, and you need some reflectors on it as well

[therock]

were did you get th 125 rc from pal

[Christhejob]

I have a set of the faction wheels and tyres in my garage, really nice. Awaiting a little custom frame and fork work courtesy of sbc and mr moliterno over in Iowa.. Yum..

[therock]

bet thats costing you some money pal , the wheels are 3 bags a set frame must be fortunes

[Christhejob]

Don't tell the missus..  in all honesty, as long as I swing import tax the right way, it's not that expensive. About the same price as a high end frame in the UK, plus a bit more for modifying to a 22" wheel sizing.
