So come on the who has ordered one?

I placed an order for a chrome one (after much deliberation) as was going to originally make a 24" version of my white 20". I also opted for the larger bars too to make it a proper cruiser rather than a race cruiser.

Also, i have a sneaky suspicion that we may all create very similar looking builds on these (wheels, cranks, stem etc)

Its going to be interesting to see who does what with theirs.

There's another post on here covering the 24".

I went for chrome too, should sit nicely next to the 'little' white TA.

Really looking forward to receiving mine. I went for no front brake mounts and cruiser bars.

Watch for the prices of 24"Tioga etc tyres to rocket.Now `ll also be a good time to purchase 22.2-25.4mm shims,start a thread about how to fit an aheadset and another on removing v-brake mounts

I've got a chrome one on the way with the cruiser bars to match.
I still trying to decide what colour scheme to to with the chrome.

Nooooope. I've got 5 cruisers already

Although it took me 3 days to convince myself not too.

Bugger! Where's that site again!

I'm sure people will be getting parts together before the frames arrive so, are we looking at June time for a RAD 24" TA XL ride out?!?!

AKGOFF · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2012, 02:50 PM »

So that would be June 2013 judging by the usual timescale of Skyway retro products.
