again, thanks for the input
particularly cmc4130 for da knowledge. i think tom/ sasha nailed it in the first post but it's good to know why
and yes g, i really want to ride one to see what the fuss is about (hence the interest in this haro) for myself, luckilly for you i never leave london but thanks for the offer! however in return if you are ever in the big smoke you'd be welcome to come to an alleycat or do a checkpoint
that goes for anyone on here tho, next one's next friday (29th), check my subtle tumblr in my sig for upcoming events. if anyone wants to race you can ride any bike you like: brakes, gears, whatevs. pm me if so
edit: although i still don't understand if there is a difference between a cruiser and a 24" if someone could clarify
The idea behind the model C was to take freestyle BMX geometry and put bigger wheels on. So the BB is super high because it needs to feel like a freestyle BMX when you pull up, ie. you are starting from the same position relative to the wheel axle. With a high BB the BB (and so your feet) go up and back straight away, with a lower BB than the axle the BB will go forwards and up then straight up before it starts moving back. It also puts you more "above" the wheels than "between" them.
Head angle steeper, chainstays shorter (than a racey 24").
