ha ha another one got the S&M bug, they really get under your skin dont they!! Just got mine at the weekend and im soooooooooooooooooo happy 

and padsets are on Triton bike shop, gish just hooked me up with the link

The 1" headtube frames have 10mm dropouts and some of the early 1 1/8" frames

Holmes serial numbers start HXL

Dirtbike SMD

Challenger SCP

The new repro padsets have a different font/text on them if you're fussy

What brakes would depend on wether the frame has lugs or not, DC ad990 for lugged frames, pitbull for frames without lugs

Hello Brother

I can absolutely recommend Mid-school S&M's for riding.

They are built for adults, are super stable and will last forever because of the build quality.

When I first started collecting I went straight for a Holmes 1 1/8th 10mm drop outs.

I was riding a 24" at the time and found it very easy to switch to the 20" Holmes because of it's length.

Here are some pics of when I covered it in Yellow Tape and made my own Decals.







Keep the faith. L
