Its tricky cause not too many people ride 24 inch to tell you the truth. However parts wise Id go with the eastern its a bit easier on the eyes too. I cant say much either then eastern looks like the better bike.

I'm kinda liking the Mirra. It has a full chromolly frame.

Cruisers are not meant to be heavily abused. The only viable 24" bike for street would be a mtb with 24" wheels..

You can abuse it more than a cruiser for sure

I don't think anyone who has posted on this, has read the specs for either bike or knows what they're talking about. A bike is only as good as it's frame. The Eastern has one chromolly tube,the rest is mild steel. The Mirraco is full chromolly tubing and it's not a racing cruiser-do you see V-brakes on it?
I like eastern stuff, this just isn't as good as the Mirraco.

"Cruiser" is a term for a 24 or 26 inch wheeled BMX bike. They are meant to do the the same thing as a 20" bike."Cruiser" has nothing to do with "cruising.

the Icon 2040 is a sweet ride and takes a beating better than the guy above me, this bike is fun! huck it off shit it'll take it. Everyone knows you don't ride these like a DH, relax guys, sit on a 24" and pedal your heart out.

ps buy the Icon if you haven't already,its got some rhyno lites on it. Just go break an arm it'll be sweet.

Your first post and you dig up an old thread and take a poke at me. Don't you have anything more constructive to do? If you read all the way up, I'm defending the Mirraco and cruisers in general. What a waste of a post.
...and trust me,you couldn't deliver a beating on me that I couldn't takeBig Grin
Why don't you go ride? I ride and dig everyday after work. It helps me take beatings.Wink tup
