if you would like 24" that could take a beating, check out the WTP Unified... yeah, it's probably too beautiful a bike for you to want to beat it up, but.... I felt and rode the bike in person... and I'd say it's one of the most solid bikes i've ever had my sexy butt on ^^
i would even say the frame itself is as solid as any of the old S&M dirt jumping bikes from back in the day when Crank was still on FSN!
