Re:

My new project.
Bought one when CRC were selling the Curtis frames for £200 about 5 years back and regretted selling in about 18 months back.

Luckily I persuaded a mate to buy one too when they were cheap which he'd never taken out the box so here it is, one british racing green Curtis S1 with an RC31 I picked up.

Plan is singlespeed it with lots of lovely black Hope/Thomson/Middleburn etc bits and its definitely getting some fat'ish amberwall tyres of some description...

well that's what happens on here!
Do you mean Street trick riding or just riding around town?
I think trickwise not that I do many but the Rhythm feels more small and fun, but it's super versatile. I can see why they were a hit. Traditional 71/73 geometry not so long not do short, despite being 20 this year as it takes longer forks it still feels modern enough to ride like a BMX or modern MTB, feels tough but still a joy. I was gonna break it down but I'm enjoying its simplicity to mess around locally on it.

They are still cheap too.

Just general bike tomfoolery... I don't actually go out to ride street anymore but I like the idea of one as a low maintenance, summer commuter hack with the seat up that could double up and something more fun.
