? ??????? S&M HOLMES 1 1/8" NOT NEXT GEN ????????

[LENNY-LENTINI]

Hello Brothers

I have just missed out (by 5 squid) on an S&M Challenger '96 on ebay and am gutted and have just lost my fave local riding spot (see my other posts).

So I am turning to you guys to see if anyone has an S&M Holmes 1 1/8" Ahead (not next gen) that they want to get rid of???  To cheer me up.

Any condition considered. frame or full bike, I don't mind. Include a price though, I 'm rubbish at mind reading.

Just need a project to get into for summer

cheers Len.

I think Darker Someday might have had one.
He was lookin for one for ages so i dont think they are that easy to find.

Some good news tho' the geezer with the challenger I missed on EBAY contacted me and I bought it last night. also got a set of repro S&M pads on way to. Still gonna be interested in the black challenger you have Ginger I will contact you soon mate.

anyways thanks for all your pics and offers Brothers.

good news on the challenger

wasnt that chrome 1/18th holmes on ebay quite badly dented?

[LENNY-LENTINI]

Yeah but trouble with me is I can never resist riding my bikes and I usually fall off at some point and scratch them and dent them anyway.

Good news peeps

My Challenger has now arrived. It's not show condition but it's definitely a rider. It's got a  shit cantilever brake set up tho' that doesn't really work. thinking maybe redrilling frame and fitting a NOS ACS BOA that I have lying around. what do you reckon?

p.s can anyone tell me how to put pictures on here so I can give you all a butchers?

DON'T MOLEST THE FRAME DUDE!

Get a photobucket or similar account, up your images to them & then paste the img links into your messages. An img link looks something like this (without spaces in the tags)

Must say a big THANK YOU to GingerHolmes for sorting me out a near minty survivor chrome 1 1/8" Holmes frame at a very nice price.

Gonna build it Survivor style like Gary72's gumtree Camo tape Holmes.

Just found a brand new 46t Profile ripsaw in the packet down in the wharehouse at bmxcity in Grantham ( www.bmxcity.co.uk ) cheers Dude. will be fileing it to fit it to a one piece to go on.

Pics to follow
