got a new bike for my wife .... yes, its an S&M!

[SaMAlex]

I got fed up of my wife riding round on 26" bikes with tiny frames and short stems (she is only small) so I got her a 24" BMX. Its the perfect size for her and she looks much more comfy on it. Now we (the wife and our 2 sons) can ALL go hit up some BMX tracks sometime.

Big thanks to Harris for being a man of his word and making sure this frame (and loads more) came to me when he moved it on.


S&M 24" Trails Version. Early 2000s Id guess
S&M forks, bars, stem, seat, chainring, grips.
GT cranks and pedals (thanks JT71)

Cool.  My Mrs rides my Challenger when we go out on family rides (though she says the Kashimax seat is uncomfortable).

Never realised they did a 24" TV.  Especially with V-brake mounts.  Thought that would've been an RV Cruiser.  Learn summat new every day.

I cant say for sure Mike, but its got Trails Version stickers on it, and its not that light.

Yeah, a made a point of putting a nice padded seat on it

Are you telling me here is an S&M frame you don't know everything about?!  You're slipping in your old age, lad.

 

[Philbert]

fook off is that for your wife!

is that what you told her after she put her foot down and said 'no more for you'?

[harris]

nice one mate looks well comfy . the frame had that sticker on when i got it,just added downtube ones   

[dirtyvans]

looks nice

i built my mrs a CW cruiser, then decided it was too nice for her so put it in a box in the loft!

Alex,

I believe thats my old cruiser (think i sold it to harris).

I owned it from new and can confirm it's a 2000/01 model.

It is quite weighty, but race well and was awesome down the trails. But, it is def an RV model.

The only issue i had with it was the fact it had no cable mounts on the frame, always the zip-tie treatment.

Here it is at the trails.:-



One of my greatest regrets was selling 
sutty

Hell, I've just noticed it still has the Owen sticker on the seatube, Harris must have kept it clean.

Yep, it was yours. I almost bought it from you but Dan got it (but he said he'd sell it to me one day  )
Thanks for the RV/TV info. I dont know much about race bikes or 24" bikes but I thought it was too heavy for a race frame.

Yeah Mike. Race frames and 24" frames are something I dont know much about. 

[Mattdub]

Nice bike Alex , I bet the Mrs is chuffed .

Great to see it was Sutty's so you know where it's been from new too !

Back in 2000/1 most cro-mo race frames were still a bit weighty.  At least 5lbs/5.5lbs anyway.
