Hi folks,

got this from a good pal on here but I am struggling a bit with Date and Model 

Frame number is: SMO797364










Any help on Colours, decals and general build options for the date of the frame would be awseome 

Thanks for looking,
Sid.

Well depending on the t/t size it's a Next Generation Dirtbike or Holmes, I think they were made from around 1997 to 2000 in all the usual S&M colours & are over 8lbs, solid old beast, looks like Someone cut the brake post to run a smaller drivetrain.

   thanks fella,

top tube length is 19.5 "

Is that centre of t/t to centre of s/t? I don't think They made any that short!

It's a next gen dirtbike. late 96/early 97 to 99ish they were built. The "O" in the frame number might be a "D".
I had an olive/army green one from custard riders, i also saw a camel/beige one ridden by a mr g french. Heaviest bike I ever rode. Nice tho.
