Sweet looking bike, light too I bet.

Did you have to modify the frame to fit that 24 x 3 in the rear?

Cheers,
Dr. T

Dr. T
its very light because of the aluminum, took me by suprise when i stripped the frame down.
i did not have to modify the frame in any way, but i did have to bend the chainguard up and out slightly because it was rubbing the very edge of the tire.
its got tight clearances but this frame will accept a 24x3 without issue
