No i have not ridden one, but unless when you ride it the head angle steepens and the chainstay shortens its not the frame for me. it's all about the numbers.
the ht angle IS not super steep ur right, but thats a decentally tall fork for 100mm

if i slapped a 80mm sheramn jumper on there itd b plenty steep

as to the chainstays yes their rather long, but on a 26 theyd be a little more snug, w/ the 24s their a bit loose.

ideally id like soul cycles to make a 24" specific version....

I agree I wasn't bad mouthing your frame, i like it but the #'s just aren't for me. I'm sure it's an amazing frame and yes a 24" would be ideal.

Why would you ever ride a SX Trail dirt jumping?

Look at a cdale chase they are handmade in the usa, decent part spec but the frame is amazing w/ a lifetime warranty too. The Specialized P3s are real nice.

One thing id check is the BB height depends what you want, i like a lower BB so i wouldn't touch a DOC.
actually i believe the chase's have a 3 year warranty like everything c-dale freeride.

Hi, I am new here and also looking for a DJ / Street Frame at the moment coz I busted my old frame, I am now looking for 24" wheelset specific with 80-100mm fork travel and have limited down to a few choices..
I have read so much good reviews about the NS...







The Moon is due to release in March, but can I wait that long?

The 24 Porn King or LaTOY are nice, but bad memories with aluminum frames

For a P2 I would run a 4" fork and 26s. I wouldn't run 24s on anything unless it was designed around them.

What's this I hear about Evil DOC geos being crap... Was thinking that on paper it would be a buttery dirt jumper with stable trail manners on a 4" fork... Any owners to testify to this claim?
With a 4" fork it would be a more all-round bike that's pretty stable. I have mine setup with a 3" fork and it's really quick and perfect for urban and DJ, I don't ride trails on it. It's rollin' on 26s w/ no F brake and SS. I love it. I would highly recommend it, especially for the money.
