I'm trying to find a BMX racing cruiser frame similar in handling to a Liquid Bikes frame (or other new school freestyle type 24).

So far, after a bit of research the DK professional looks the closest geometry and size-wise. Just wondering if one or more of the Liquid Bikes owners could confirm that this would be the case.

Liquid Bikes vs. DK Professional 24

-22" Top Tube vs. 22" Top Tube
-12.7" BB vs 12.5" BB
-14.24" CS vs. 14.75" CS
-74 HA vs. 73.5 HA
-72 SA vs. 72.5 SA

I guess it probably would. If it were me, I'd probably go with a chromoly STANDARD 125r to race cruiser. I've heard nothing but positive things about it, and it's got 12.48"bb (0.48" rise).

The Standard 125r was definitely on my short list...however, I was a little concerned that the head tube angle seemed a little mellow at 72 degrees (and with the seat angle at 70 degrees vs 72.5 on the DK it would feel shorter).

Try an new S&M Speedwagen.

i didn't wanna be the one to point out the obvious, but nothing handles almost the same as a Liquid...

 

[demo 9]

Instead of buying a bike like a liquid, why not just buy a liquid?

we only did a limited run and they are all sold out. the only way to obtain one now is to find someone selling their used one...
