Haave you ever noticed, your 24" Slingshot has 2 braces on the "Top Tubes" each side, and mine only has 1 Brace on each side.  Mind was built for a Factory Rider and was an early model, they must have changed after mine.  I also know of another one that haqs a similiar brace connecting the rear chain stays top to bottom just in front of asle.
