I got fed up of my wife riding round on 26" bikes with tiny frames and short stems (she is only small) so I got her a 24" BMX. Its the perfect size for her and she looks much more comfy on it. Now we (the wife and our 2 sons) can ALL go hit up some BMX tracks sometime.
Big thanks to Harris for being a man of his word and making sure this frame (and loads more) came to me when he moved it on.
S&M 24" Trails Version. Early 2000s Id guess
S&M forks, bars, stem, seat, chainring, grips.
GT cranks and pedals (thanks JT71)

Cool. My Mrs rides my Challenger when we go out on family rides (though she says the Kashimax seat is uncomfortable).
Never realised they did a 24" TV. Especially with V-brake mounts. Thought that would've been an RV Cruiser. Learn summat new every day.

I cant say for sure Mike, but its got Trails Version stickers on it, and its not that light.
Yeah, a made a point of putting a nice padded seat on it :-X

i've never heard of a "24 tv frame either,i'd always thought it was an rv when i saw it with dan,

Are you telling me here is an S&M frame you don't know everything about?! You're slipping in your old age, lad.
:LolLolLolLol:

i built my mrs a CW cruiser, then decided it was too nice for her so put it in a box in the loft! :LolLolLolLol:

Alex,
I believe thats my old cruiser (think i sold it to harris).
I owned it from new and can confirm it's a 2000/01 model.
It is quite weighty, but race well and was awesome down the trails. But, it is def an RV model.
The only issue i had with it was the fact it had no cable mounts on the frame, always the zip-tie treatment.
Here it is at the trails.:-

One of my greatest regrets was selling :'(

Hell, I've just noticed it still has the Owen sticker on the seatube, Harris must have kept it clean.

Yep, it was yours. I almost bought it from you but Dan got it (but he said he'd sell it to me one day :daumenhoch:)
Thanks for the RV/TV info. I dont know much about race bikes or 24" bikes but I thought it was too heavy for a race frame.
Are you telling me here is an S&M frame you don't know everything about?! You're slipping in your old age, lad.
Yeah Mike. Race frames and 24" frames are something I dont know much about. :-[

Nice bike Alex , I bet the Mrs is chuffed .
Great to see it was Sutty's so you know where it's been from new too ! ;)

Back in 2000/1 most cro-mo race frames were still a bit weighty. At least 5lbs/5.5lbs anyway.
