I'm thinking about grabbing a 24" BMX cruiser to just mess around on and try to learn some skills (urban, dirt jumping, and general tom foolery) since I can't afford an urban hardtail and I don't want to go with a 20" since I have never felt comfortable on one.

I know Haro has that Backtrail X24, but are there any other options around that price range with possibly a longer top-tube, and or better components. I'm not looking for anything really fancy, just something that will do the job.

There is an '04 DK General Lee for sale for $175 in the Buy/Sell thread of the Pacific Northwest forum. "NO TEETH" is the guy that's selling it.

Yeah they are all gone. Maybe some mail order place might have one left, or maybe a used one.
I'm kinda hooked up with DK right now so yep, no more 4130 24"s.
I have run a tall rigid fork on my UX24.

The current DK Fury 24" cruiser is aluminum but the older ones were cromoly.

how much is the full Ux24? and can you get the frame only?

A complete UX24 is $800. The UX26 is $1,000. They are sold complete only. The DK Urban/MTN-X Frame is also available, it is True Temper double butted chromoly with verticle drop outs.
I've been riding my bike for about a week and I'd have to say it's the best hard tail out there. I've ridden and owned many many bikes and the DK UX24 has every thing I need. I think a 26" will fit on the back too if I would like to switch the bike out.
