that's the rule of thumb I always worked by. But the lee spanned the gap between decades

Just my reckoning - 1989/1990-2003 = mid school. 2003+ marks the weight weenie/different frame geometry's, bottom brackets etc coming in.

2002 General eh? Taiwanese made but still chromo :)

I was hoping you'd put something into the thread. I've finally scored a lee. Pics to follow later tonight fella. So the 02's were Taiwan made but still cromo. Hmm. We'll chat about this further when I get some pics up later as its not all original and would like it to eventually be all og.

no one has bought this one yet


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DK01-BMX-General-Lee-Mid-school-Bike-20-Wheels-/200685290482?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4729301504061161132



That one was bought a few months ago for around the £100 mark. It's an OG MK1 but it's had it's rear drops ground to 14mm, and the new (now crappy sadly) General decals popped on + respray.  Would like to know the story behind all that kit being sold by the lady and her daughter as it seems sadly that the original collector has died - they're selling off his collection (there's a Holmes etc being sold as well).


Love the General pit though :) - almost worth getting a NOS child to go with it  :D
