It looks like there are a lot of nice donor frames around that use 24 in wheels.Look forward to your brake mount pic. The bike must be a lot lighter than the Mongoose. Jack
Got the riding position of the Giant pretty close to the Silvio.Its holding up ok so far. I beefed up the headtube enough so there is no flex.The only downside is the extra weight. Jack
Its just the learning curve relax as much as possible.I did a Downtube NS with 20in wheels and it was stable enough even on 30 mph downhill runs. The first few rides on any bent can be a handful. How about some pictures. JACK
I will be glassing the plywood to each end of the top tube and along the bottom tube. It should be rigid enough then but I will be taking it easy to see how it holds up. Jack
