The custom Indust?  Yeh, I've spent a bit of time riding around in the street by my house and have hit up some of the spots by my work.  No rails yet though...   Rides awesome.

Full check in the Gallery.
The bike is great so far, with very limited jibbing around today.  It feels a bit long for me, so I'm ordering a 48mm Fit BF stem.
I have to spend more time to get a good feel for it, but I definitely prefer the geo over the CR24.

i mostly ride my 22 when im going drinking ahha, easier to ride home on than my 20.

put my back out yesterday so was cruising around on it at the park. buying it was an extravagance, but its rad to have and fun for blasting about on
this year i am going to have sex and it will be awesome

Dialed in the front end with a 48mm BF stem and Octave fork.  It now fits me better, the 22" top tube with a 53mm stem was a bit too long.

After spending some time on it, I find that this bike wants to be ridden fast.  It really comes alive and feels more maneuverable the faster you go.  Not that it's sluggish or anything at lower speeds, but it's just one of those bikes that appreciates a few extra cranks...
Aloha.

Sorry to bring back a dead thread, but I've been looking into a geo change for some time now and this thread has been one of the most valuable research tools I've come across. Currently on a Haro 124 frame and fork with 8" slam bars. The geo is decent for dirt, but I'm in Louisiana and a lot of the time it's hard to find dry dirt to ride on so I'm looking for something that'll be a bit poppier for street and park riding. I was looking at the liquid but I missed the boat on that one, so I'm likely going to get s&m to do a custom atf cruiser and try to mimic the liquid geo, but with a few tweaks. Really I'm looking for more input from people who have ridden the liquid, and if anybody has ridden the 124 I'd like some comparison.

If "poppy for street and park" is what you're after (more than trails), then i'm gonna say check out the Sunday Wave C.  http://www.sundaybikes.com/tag/wave-c/   I think the Liquid does have a more trails-ish geo, with a slacker head angle.

I'm really going for in between. I'll probably get a steeper head and slightly higher bb than the liquid, but still keep the rear absolutely as short as possible. Just trying to gauge exactly where I want it, bc it's pretty expensive so I want it right the first time
