There's no way that's a Thrasher. 26" wheels don't look like that in a Thrasher frame, and neither the V1 or the V2 have negative bottom bracket drop.

Looks like a Vandal to me.

Ask the person to measure the tt length. Large frames for road stuff tend to be about 55-56cm c-c.

Edit: reasized what frame that is. Just ask the seller to measure the tt, and st

its all based a bit on preference... if you want it to ride more like a bmx the small and med are better... if you want to to still kind of feel like a track bike the large is the way to go... I still actually have the catalogue from the dealer and the size of the large was 47cm... hope this helps

edit: I think it also has like a 55cm top tube or 22" if I remember correctly

Hey guys, so I'm looking to get int FGFS, would you be able to recommend a frame size? I read on another PB post that you should size down. I'm 5"10, 30" inseam. Cheers!

Hey guys, I was thinking of building an FGFS bike that can be used as both a trick bike and a light commuter.

I was wondering if it's possible to run a front disc brake with the line running through a hollow top cap, so that I can still do barspins while having the brake in an "Oh shit" moment while commuting.The frame I'm considering of purchasing currently is the BB17 Serpent or a Charmer. (still debating between riding on 700c wheels or 26" wheels...)

Does anybody know of a fork with disc brake mounts that would work with frames like these?

I found a bike online that kind of has the fork setup I want (I'm not a fan of how it looks, though):

Y'all seen this?

Taking a Sledgehammer to the flat scene

Joe Cicman and Danny Sirkin threw down some serious flatland moves on a 24″ last year in two installments of TwoFourFlat.

Well, they’re back at it again.

This time taking a 26″ Volume Sledgehammer through its paces and teaching the big bike some new tricks.
