'Ello Brother

Just realised I have been viewing and admiring your Holmes for about a week now Danny and not yet commented.

Very nice indeed, the green really smacks of Mid School freshness.

all the Holmes's on this thread are fckn gorgeous too.

For me 'THE' Icon of the 90's era....

The other week I was riding mine down near the Magistrates Court in Nottm City Centre and a Chavvy looking youth that had just come out of the court walks past me and says ' fukkin' 'ell nice, oldskool S&M mate'.

We exchanged nods and he was on his way. Cool.

Keep the Fizz. L

Cheers Lenny

Yours is a corker n'all

Managed to egg a front HP-48 on the old Holmes the other weekend - bugger..... may have to go the LLP Flow Team way and re-build the egg out with some quality baco-the-foil

Borrowed some bits off my challenger and took mine to coppull yesterday, was told off several people it looked too nice to ride!

Now needs a bit of a clean...

Managed to de-anno the rear wheel

No longer a show pony...

Nice one Betty, looks better with some "air miles" on her. Wait for the track dirt to dry, bang the bike on the floor a couple of times, clean the back wheel only, + go ride again! perfect.

Sweet baby jesus Alex - they all yours? That is mid school pron right there

nosepickben · « **Reply #43 on:** October 31, 2011, 05:28 PM »

Niiiiiiiiice.....

Desert-island bikes indeed.
My inch and an eighth Holmes build is coming along nicely. Nearly ready for paint. Got these welded on today. Pitchforks that came with frame are HEAVY, these have very similarly shaped dropouts, so i'm gonna paint them up and sticker them as pitch-fauxks. Need to drill a cable hole before painting tho.

Yep. A few years ago I set out to get one of every 1" frame type. Almost there.

The bars on the Yellolmes are early Slams, or "Itson Slams". Same as the Bottom pair here (below a set of "Wide and low Slams" and "Dancing man Slams" at the top. Ive now put a pair of Itson Slams on the mk1 and a pair of wide-n-low's on the Yellolmes so they are time-line correct.
