Got this bike from carboot sale today but not sure what it is. The parts on it are, suntour stem, suntour 3 piece crank, shimano pedals - not dx though, araya wheels with suzue hubs, tange forks, and also crappy new school velo seat!! Not bad for only Â£8

Any idea's? cheers

kdw712 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 04, 2006, 11:47 PM »

bmxmatt1974 · « **Reply #5 on:** June 04, 2006, 11:56 PM »

i dont have a clue what it is but parts alone got to be worth £8 so am well happy

Judging by that headtube I'd say it is a Patterson Mini. If I'm right then that is probably worth a fair bit.

Yeah i thought Patterson Expert with the machined headtube and the rear dropout shape.

defo looks like a Patterson to me too.....only that and a Curtis I know of with that shaped headtube and it ain't a Curtis!

Top find fella.

bmxmatt1974 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2006, 10:11 AM »

and to think i had cheek to offer him a fiver!! worth the extra £3 i think.

FuNMoNsTeR · « **Reply #11 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:27 PM »

The 83 Torkers had a machined headtube like that too...

retrogeezer · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2006, 07:58 PM »

the ridged section on the torkers/haros isn't that big tho is it - it's only about half that size

bmxmatt1974 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2006, 05:11 PM »

not sure if this is a patterson as the ones i have looked at have a gusset of some sort between bottom bracket and rear wheel. if you look in second pic this doesnt have one. any other suggestions?
cheers

bmxmatt1974 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 06, 2006, 06:51 PM »

fly fishing?

JR may mean junior, hence the small BB

FuNMoNsTeR · « **Reply #17 on:** June 07, 2006, 04:30 AM »

Is the rear dropout like this?

Defo looking like a Patterson JR.

Check this link http://www.vintagebmx.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=023164#000000

Look at the JR stamp, also the high seat tube and the line of the rear chain stays.

What a find

Paul

toooldforthis · « **Reply #21 on:** June 07, 2006, 06:46 PM »

as Sir Cliff used to say 'some guys get all the luck'

What a boot fair find, absolute quality that is mate

Mind you, I don't like to brag, but I got a burner, yes that's right, a burner, for 8 nicker last year at a car boot.....and there's NO comparison

PS can you spot the ebay package that I've hidden under the dustbin, the missus will never find it, he he

sawzall · « **Reply #22 on:** June 07, 2006, 09:45 PM »

bmxmatt1974 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 08, 2006, 02:47 PM »

If being in the lead means buying the most amount of old shite, then the answer is no, cos that's me

If it means buying the best bike at a booty, then the answer's probably yes, you git
