Gonna be doing a bit of racing and street cruising? What's the best option 24" or 26"?

I'd go for 24" Jim, the 26"'s are just too big

Damn can't get the same bike as Bill. Like going to a ball in the same dress!

Not much choice in the 24" cruisers. So may have to be the Flyer.
Gonna go down the shop tomorrow to try them out.

I like the feel of a 24" er (oooh eeeeer !!), 26" Cruisers smack of the Mountain Bike !

Just about to buy the Subrosa 24 mag but its not a race bike more of a street cruiser.

I'm still riding my Black 2006 Kuwahara Pro 24" Cruiser nice bike and very light. I only thing I always find the Bars aren't wide enough though so swapped them out for larger ones, apart from that it's still all stock parts.

Yeah, seen the Subrosa and the Kuwahara. Not sure on a GT though

This is my 26" Charge that I use for bimbling about on (it's about to be replaced with another 26"er)

spillers#1 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 22, 2008, 05:45 PM »

Jim i think bill may be getting a redline proline to race on now

the WTP isn't a race bike but you can still have a blast on it

the intense that mark at groove sells look the b*ll*x but don't not what they ride like though.

welsh denny · « **Reply #21 on:** February 22, 2008, 05:47 PM »

that charge is very nice. got a dmr trailstar at mo. may change rims , tyres are dead, new paintjob etc. or just buy a new 26" maybe if price is right.
