Martyn Tambling, who rides for my shop team and is Verde team manager for the UK, used to ride for 2Hip - and he still has his old Pork frames!

I wish, the baddies got mine. Bustin for another, one of the only bikes on my `to do' list, so if there are any available, particularly the ally ones, I'm interested.

There was one o t'Bay that didn't sell recently (reserve not met)

Pork = only alloy frame I'd trust

I had a Yellow alloy Pork in the later part of the 90's, Dan Harris ended up with it, I think He may have sold it now though? I do remember I went from a real heavy Condor with Supra E's & other heavy parts to the Pork with lighter stuff & the first air I tried on it I over rotated big style & crashed, it was short, light & very floaty!

I'm sure these are all gone by now, but they look pretty well, IMO.

I have a friend who worked at WAL and is still mates with Ron. He said that Ron worked out a deal with Skyway, and those bikes were the only place you could get 9t skyway rear wheels. (I'd think that skyway would be keen to sell them else where, but that was what he said).
I think my mate got one of these Porks as well.

Does Ron W still ride a Pork? Albion issue 3 has some pics of him on what could be a Pork with integrated headtube?

Munnyella · « **Reply #14 on:** December 05, 2011, 01:28 PM »

I had a few emails with Ron W last year when I had mine, he said he still rode his, and that they had never had an ally one returned damaged!!

Hard to believe even an ally Pork would be lightweight! I reckon my frame must have been about 7-8lb!!

The first Alloy Porks were at the most 5 1/2lbs, the Cromo frames knocked on the door of 10lbs I think

Here is my old chromoly Pork frame. These pics were taken the day I bought it. After I took these pics I stripped off the remaining red paint and stickers, Polished up the chrome which was in brilliant condition and put on a new sticker set. It was sold a year later to a friend of mine who still owns it.
