Calling all Hoffman experts -
I may have found a NOS Hoffman EP frame in chrome - with the toptube platform...
can any of you let me know what year they came out? and I believe there is a weird brake system on the back - small holes on the chain / seat stay where a brake plate would sit to fit an AD990? Not acyual lugs? Not sure as this is just a description Ive been emailed...
any idea on worth/value too?

Cheers!
steve

the frame came out around 97
i think they had removable/screw in lugs that you could adjust depending on wheelbase length

think that model was the second edition ,out from '98 steve,got mine in'99 with the same mounts so you could either mount on either chain or seat stays depending on gearing used.but yeah like a lot of mid frames not worth that much

okey doke -
Im not going to bother , but for those that want a NOs EP frame ... BMX City [ formerly Cyclesport] run by mate Dan, have TWO nos ones waiting to sell. Ring him on 01476 590 550 and make him an offer. Both are chrome, one has the holes in the chainstays, the other has the holes in chain and seatstays. I doubt the lugs are there though... but they are worth grabbin for sure. He also has a Condor in white for the same era.
Cheers!
