Check out the whole write up that Carter did on the bike at

He seems to be amused (or annoyed) by people discussing the bike on Threads which is interesting. I guess I wasn't able to see where he was going with his sarcasm.

looks pretty sick.
hope theres a v-brake option and is a bit lower priced than the other 24's out there.
as far as i know, there's not a decent 24" frame out there for under 500

I don't know, but if it is comparable in price to the riot I think I'm gonna get one. I have been less enthused about how my big wheels handle tight transitions. I feel like my 26" is too big and awkward at the spot I ride. I think 24" might be the perfect size for a dude with BMX history, but not as tight as he once was.
they said they should have the design finalized and into production by the end of the year. they are thinking to start shipping around January
My Tonic handles tigher trannies really well, can't imagine this would be any different. Should be just what your looking for!
I spoke with them on the phone yesterday and they did say they were shooting for January but did not have a price point set. I have to say that they were amazingly forthcoming about the design process and what was taking until January. The conversation really showed me how much care and attention to detail was being put into these frames. I was going to buy a new frame and start a new build by the end of the week, but after that call I have decided to wait until January and keep riding my POS until then.
Yep very cool. I for one am all for the disc option, but the fact that they are looking into v-brakes is awesome. They should offer both styles.
Any word if it will be a S&M made, high end tubing like the Mob or overseas, less $$ tubing like the Riot? I would contemplate a 24" in addition to my Mob. I love how the Mob rides and a 24" mini version would be very cool for a few places.

i hope its more riot price range.
theres already some really nice high end 24s out there and i think one a bit less expensive would be cool for some us out there on a tighter budget

I know that mondo or whatever the guy's name was that I spoke with specifically said that it will be S&M made, that is a contributing factor in the wait time of January, they have to wait for time on the machines to build protoypes
at the risk of being a bandwaggoner, i'm gonna pick one up as well...
f*ck the bandwagon crap. its just an awsome frame and we should all get one. haha
can I take a ride on the band wagon
Currently pushing a Toy 4, but daaaum the contra looks sweet

reviving this thread, does anyone have any more info on the contraband's release
January is supposedly the goal.
If you could buy a used blk mrkt contraband prototype frame how much would you pay for it.
do I hear $1?
ok is there anyone who actually wants to buy one.
are they even for sale new, let alone used
They are out there. There was one at my house a couple weeks ago but I forgot to check it out. . .
proto's or what
Ive got an older proto frame than the one pictured above and I was considering selling it. I have not ridden it only the blk mrkt team. I wont sell yet but am considering it because it would cost me too much to put it together myself.
how the hell do you guys get stuff like this, i am the part of the community that waits for everything, oh well, waiting helps you think it through i guess
that ish is hot
I've decided I am going to build and the bike is almost put together.
i still like the Dobermann Molosse better
Bike looks sick. Interesting to see it being run rigid. How do you guys think it will ride with a rigid fork? In the market for a 24 and would def like one with disc mounts, but I have always been unsure of how a more mtbmx 24 would handle with such a low a/c. Compared to a dedicated rigid 24 anyway. See a lot of guys runnin them on 26's and 24's, but they always looked kinda goofy with the larger crown/tire gap. And it seems like the geo would be thrown off a lot, but I dunno. Maybe I'm overthinking this...lol
