That looks a lot like the master a guy i used to ride with back in the day had. He had a bashguard sport before that, smashed the hell out of it though, as we all did back then, I think it was well twisted by the time he was done with it!

Finally arrived today, paint work is tatty but Im really pleased with the condition of the frame. Before it goes to Dan I want to get some paint stripper on the back end of the frame as I think the original chrome is still intact.

The kneesavers which are apparently the originals seem to sweep back further than my NOS ones I have on the wifes bike, they have the chevrons on the bottom tube so Im wondering if these are the 'first versions' and the later ones are different??

I can take some more pictures if required....

The kneesavers got more and more sweptback as we went into the 90s I think.. remember the "how-to" in ride (Invert????) of rob ridge simply jumping on a set to get them less swept back?  Plus the old trick of hammering an axle into the bars to prevent bending.  christ bikes were ShIT really weren't they?

Nice frame  :daumenhoch:

Those bars did bend easily! I also did that old trick but used some smaller diameter tubing down each end to try & beef them up after they turned into chopper bars  :shocked:

The more I look at the bars I think one end is more bent than the other, if I cant get them looking right I'll use my other pair on this build.

early kneesaver`s were nearly straight on the ends and over the years they put a sweep on them .

Hi mate, was your mate the dude with the Master on the London ride that had been given the frame for free?

Email this guy for the decals, teamharo@hotmail.com he charges $100 shipped from Aus and they look awesome.

Collected the f/f and bars from SBD tonight, the man has worked miracles with the finish!

Taken a few pictures, not the best due to the time of night but I'll do some more when I get some time in the daylight. :daumenhoch:
