Nice looking Holmes. They might be my fav Holmes decals.

It looks like a mk3 Holmes, which came with or without brake mounts. Did that one have them removed or did it never have them? Do you have a frame number of it?
(the under side of the dropout looks a bit square? Right at the back?).

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like a nice sticker.

Hey Motomag are you the guy that was on the Brackens at Berm in Sept?

Sweet Holmes brother, I love bikes that aren't built with an open cheque book (although we've all done it). Non of us had any money back in the day but it never stopped us then and it doesn't stop us now.

Try Dan at Bmxcity for a post. He found me a brand new in the packet Primo Rod in chrome for £7. Looks just right on my Holmes.

Anyways keep the Faith.L

Don't worry matey, Holmes' ride super stable on the track even with the weight they ride and jump like their on rails.

years ago in the Mid 90's while i was still ridin cruiser (FreeAgent Pro limo 24) I bumped into an old mate of mine Who was ridin' a Holmes. I was fascinated by this bike because it was a 20" that actually fitted a grown adult (unlike me 88 Master).

Fast Forward to 2009 GingerHolmes sold me my Chrome Holmes and I have not ridden my cruiser since.
