Hi. have seen your 24"er posted on here and would like to know the geometry. I have asked gary but he was'nt sure! Am really interested in the bb height as i was wanting a shorter c/stay on my frame and 11 3/4" or less is ideal. and those Ody forks, they the 'short 'one's, about 355 mm axle to crown length?

Hi- will go and measure the bb height im just about to go and clean it, its coverd in shite from mansfield yesterday-
i must have the short ody forks because i can only get a 1.75 tire to fit in i didnt know they made ones with a bigger space, mine are the dirt forks they do a race version probaly work better with the curtis frame bit lighter and that. iam getting some curtis cruiser forks made soon going to get the front a bit lighter..
its is a realy cool bike to ride and nice jump, i will try and get some recent pics of it for you. I will send you them measurements later if you need any more info let us know... pete

just measured the bb height its 12 1/8" and the rear triangle is 15 1/2" thats with the wheel right in the dropouts.
the toptube on my frame is 21 3/4" not sure the angle of the headtube some people say it looks steep but it feels ok-
euro bottom bracket, v-brake mounts, cant think of anything else will get some pics. :daumenhoch:
