I was watching it but didnt bid, was gonna mail asking if it had a serial on the dropout but ive no room for it and ive got a dirtbike that ive still not finished
Mail the seller asking for the serial no. if its starts SMD its a dirtbike, if it starts HXL its a Holmes...
Get some pics up when it lands
Good score btw...

I had a bid on it but didn't want to give too much as I wasn't 100% sure if it was even an s&m
Mailed the seller for some more pics but didn't hear owt from the seller.
Hope it is and the build goes well for you!!

Had a little punt too, i thought it was a holmes.
Looks built up with cheap haro? bits, and chrome looks quite poor.
If it is a holmes still a bargain

my winning bid was 77.50 i think, with postage comes to £100, cant wait for it to turn up
and yeah captain, it was only listen as "old school bmx" as the guy didnt no what it was, i nearly missed it myself
like i said just want it to turn up so i can check it over, check its and S&M first
, then if its a holmes or not, and hopfully there pitchforks too

I think the frame numbers are just sequential. I have got a bit of a list of frame numbers, with details of the frames and also when it was bought (if known). Give me your frame number and I might be able to give you an idea of year.

Ive just check my list. The earliest mk2 dirtbikes on there belonged to 2 mates of mine. They were both 2 dropouts stuck together, plates at the chain stay and seat stays, and head tube/down tube gussets. They were SMD3262 and SMD3268 and they got them from Hotwheels in 92.
Ive not seen a brake bridge like that but the frame number ties in well. I guess yours in an early 92 one.

halfords will, anusol=autosol metal polish,
wilco or any supermarket should sell dura-glit, it comes in a tin on a kind of impregnated cotton wool, great for the final polishing,
funky frame thought that, get some pics when its done? on a plain background?
