Frame and forks any good? Starting a rider build ?

Sorry people was writing that in a rush before heading to work should have read Diamond Back Venom

Do you know what year it is fella? The majority of the Venoms in the 90's were chromolly maintubes only. They're fairly strong - but won't take any heavy street/park bashing for long. Seem to remember they came in at sub £250, ideal starter bikes in the mid 90's. Also seem to remember the components they came with were fairly middle of the road as well

Then again, not every bikes a Standard/S&M etc - if you like it, build it

Mid 90's i think , Had a Dyno  VFR back in the day seen a couple of frames i like but they seem to be race or dirt frames not sure if its frowned upon to stick tuff 2's on stuff like that and use it as a rider but it worked in the 90's

Build it how you want it fella  It's not frowned upon to stick mags on owt from the mid 90's. It was common place from the early to mid 90's to see mags/ front mag-rear spoked set-ups, I nearly wanged a mag on the front of the S&M 1990 Holmes I've got

Hang on a tick and I'll scan a Ride for a Venom review

not sure if it's the same but i think Paul aerostylie might have one of these

Thanks again people had my offer accepted on frame, forks, gyro and seat clamp coupled with the Tuff 2's that are on the way should be a decent start better get browsing the midschool section now

2004 version Rob, my first bike (errr battleship) back into bmx  

Was the only brand I recognised among the new skool at the time, it almost put me off bikes for life lol!

[dubdee]

Well stuck the Tuff 2's on the frame and put the sr stem , crank and bars on off my burner  for now don't look too bad. Going to stick some tech77 levers , decent calipers on so i can ride it then start replacing the Burner bits

Not to most peoples standard but that my venture back into BMX lol
