I am really interested in trying a 24" bike. I rode mostly full squish bikes and about 8 years and then at the end of last year i picked up a Eastern NightTrain 26" hardtail, it was so much fun!!!!! Now i want to try a 24" bike. So if some people can give me some suggestions on frames and especially wheels. I have found a few frames that i like, but wheels seem to be a little more difficult. Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you thinking 24" mtb? Or a 24" cruiser bmx?

Dobermann bikes Pinscher or Molosse no question, you can order straight from them and get any colour, 24 or 26 specific the difference between the two is the pinscher has a 135mm rear dropout for mtb hubs and the molosse is 110 mm for bmx rear hubs

pinscher is 525$ plus shipping
molosse is 600$ plus shipping

they are shipping from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, so if you're outside Canada then account for duties as well.

I love my Dob Pinscher, and Ive seen the exact same frame, and year of frame, lowered on 24" wheels and it looks KILLER. Ima 26" man though. Just dropped the frame off at the powdercoaters for some blue paint, and then throwing my baby back together. I totally recommend the Dobermanns. as for which frame, its up to you, but the Pinscher is IMO MUCH more versatile, as you can throw a derailleur on it and hit up some 4X.

I have a Morewood Ndiza ST for 4X. I am thinking of getting a Liquid Bike or a NS. I like a short chainstay. The Capital 2 looks good. Has anyone run a Liquid Bike with a suspension fork? I need a little squish for my old body =)

I have a buddy with a nighttrain who put a lowered pike onto it, with 80mm of travel, its pretty nice.

The contraband rides really really well, I can not speak for the the other frames though, I have not been on them
