i just ordered one of these and i'm super stoked. i've been looking for a 24" like this for a while.

things to note:
* BB is an inch higher than typical 11.75 cruiser bb, but an inch lower than Sunday Model_C which some people (including me) feel is too high.
* 14.25 is the shortest CS you can get on a cruiser right now. that i know of. typical is 15" like on a DK Cygnus, or 14.75 on Model C.
* 22.3 tt is roomier than typical stock cruiser like We The People, DK, Haro. Also longer than Sunday Model C.
TT - 22.3
CS - 14.25
BB - 12.7
HA - 74
SA - 71.5
ST - 9

Sweet looking ride!

Is that a 14mm dropout?

Nice ride. I quess because of the short rear, you are stuck only being able to run a micro gear.
Liquid
CMC... is that you? Thanks for making a post about Liquid. I can't wait to see your bike built up!

Yes, the frame has 14 mm dropouts. And that is also correct on the micro gearing... because of the short chain stays and fat tire clearance (clears a 2.3) we had to make sacrifices in terms of max chainwheel size. 30 tooth is max on the frame.

The Liquid Feedback frame is our attempt at the perfect 24" bmx frame for "freestyle" riding and was developed directly from rider feedback on Ridemonkey. We felt RM was a great place to design such a frame because there is a good mix of knowledgeable riders on all types of bikes in the DJ forum: 20" bmx, 24" bmx, 24" mtbmx, 26" mtbmx... and even 22s. So, we listened. And we found out riders wanted short chain stays, a steeper head angle, a top tube length long enough for big riders, and a bottom bracket that is higher than a normal cruiser, but not so high to make it awkward and unstable. The Liquid Feedback frame is designed for use on everything that you would use your normal 20"... but its home is on the trails!!!

Here are the complete specs on the frame and bars. The frame is actually available in two top tube sizes: 22 or 22.25.

Frame
Full 4130 Sanko Chromoly
TT: 22" or 22.25"
BB: 12.7"
CS: 14.25"
HA: 74
SA: 72
ST: 9.15" center to center
Weight: 5 lbs 3 oz

Bars
4130 Chromoly
Rise: 6"
Width: 28"
Backsweep: 10 degrees
Upsweep: 2 degrees
Weight: 26 oz

Both the frames and the bars are available in three colors: Flat Black, Pearl Plum Grey, and Flat Bubblegum Blue.

I'll attach a few more pictures and a video link of me riding the bike at our trails. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more information. We are selling these direct and have frames and bars available now! The website is still in the works, but you can check out the blog for updates on www.liquid-bikes.com. Cheers!!!
