DK General Lee :: sunny pics 19/2 ::

[Jaymz]

It's a 1 1/8" - does look like a 1" though The General only ever came 1 1/8", you can get 1" DK Pro's (the frame that the Generals were based on - basically they're a beefed up version of the DK Pro - the 1" Pro's are Kastan made).

Decals - if you mean the OG one's (that are on the Ride bike) then sadly there just aren't any floating around (unless someone here's got some). I can trace off, scan and rattle you up some .ai files if you want someone to repop em for ya though

Which reminds me - who on here's got the NOS S.O.B.? Really, really would like some close ups of the decals so I can repop 'em for my SOB

Im in no rush fella so if you get some spare time then that would be awesome, got someone here that can print them for me

Is the SOB the one with the oversized downtube?

[Dannywhac]

Will do then fella - might take a bit, but no worries

Yeah - although not just oversize DT, oversize bloody everything , good old Colin Winkleman's sig frame - here's mine all naked :



Came out the same time as the General

[Jaymz]

that lower wishbone is an interesting construction. I like things like that, bit of intrest, something newschools dont seem to do, you could resticker most new schools as something different and you would never know

[Dannywhac]

True I think that's down to new-school innovates with frame geometry and materials, whereas mid school sided on the strength side of things - hence the sometimes bizzare looking (and heavy as fook) frames

I remember when the SOB frame came out and how bad I wanted a General Lee in that sexy orange paint do... RIP Colin Winkelman, what an awesome rider he was.

A tragedy mate. Do some research if you're not familiar with Colins career. Arguably the first person to pull a double flip waaaaayyyy back in about 95 or something. Flairs all over the place when people weren't really doing that, and big big banging gaps and transfers. Not to forget a world record long jumper.

Too many people associate him with jumping moving ramps and that annoys me a little bit. That was just a tiny part of what he was.


It's gingerholmes who has the NOS SOB.  As I recall it amused Alex a great deal when I mentioned on here that I'd made him buy it 

[Jaymz]

So it landed at work today, quick finger tight build up and look over and this what there is

2002 DK General Lee frame, forks and stem, very chipped and scratched, but no dinks, cracks or rewelds that i can see]
Volume Kris Bennet Bars
FSA The Pig DH Pro Headset
Primo lever
Odyssey Evolver Rear brake
Odyssey Giro G3 and cables
Demolition cranks with a sealed BB [unsure of brand]
Kink 36t sprocket
KMC kidney shaped chain
Chrome freewheel [cant see brand through the dropout]
Sun ZX25 rim laced tosealed  unbranded hub with odyssey path tyre [front]
Alex Supra J laced to a sealed prolite stealth hub with a primo V monster tyre
Mutiny Seat clamp
Kink micro adjust seatpost
Odyssey saddle

It weighs in at 15.5kg / 34lbs on the scales at work but definately doesnt feel that heavy will weigh on the floor scales next time

Not bad stuff on that bike fella 

The front wheel is stock (the hubs a Formula hub), and you've got (if I spy the bevelled edge correctly) a DK Jumping Stem (which didn't come as stock - released in early 1998 and a v nice stem - you can flip it as well).

Nice is that J

that explains why the DK logo is on the bottom of the stem as well! I was wondering.

I'm really liking the hotch potch of parts on it, Im actually disappointed theres not more stock parts on it for me to change to be honest. Definately need a chainring as 36 16 isnt great. I was just totting up the total of parts worth and You'd probably spit feathers if you knew what i picked this up for complete

Even came with a bloody great big coated chain and expensive padlock with three keys, pair of demolition pegs, spares for the oddy brake, and a london mod, and spare links for the chain

[Dannywhac]

I'll sort you out with a sprocket then fella - no troubs.

Just noticed the top-cap on those forks as well - that looks like a screw on DK one - any chance of a piccy of the dropouts on the forks? Think you might also have DK Street forks on the bad-boy as well

the fork cap is a chunky monkey fair do's, I noticed in the little box of bits he supplied I got the Pig star nut and top nut. will go and get it out the car and get some pics, mrs now knows as the littun dropped me in it, lmao

So much for bringing it in piece by piece mate 

Sounds like a score and a half here 

[Jaymz]

Yeah bringing it in bit by bit went wrong, but seem to have gotten off lightly as she said you shouldve bought another shed for your bikes instead, so I take that as i can have another shed to fill with bikes then!!


Here you go Danny, enthrall me with your wisdom, especially as to why there is a C on both rear dropouts??? And scored on the freewheel, its an ACS Claws.. SSSSssswwweeeeeeett!!

[Dannywhac]

That's the first time in years anyone's mentioned my name and enthralling in the same sentence (then again I've been with the missus for 8 years, so there's the answer )

Score on the extra shed  And on the freewheel - nice - can't go wrong with a Claw

Them forks are the later version DK Dirt Forks - came out around the same time as the frame (and came with it). Full chromo again, can't remember though if they had a machined steerer tube (think they did though).

And as for the 'C' - no idea 

Love those stems - got a couple meself - they were £50 when they first came out - rode heavily on two of em and never got bar shift

[Jaymz]

Nice one, still baffled as to what to do with it long term. In the short term Im going to slap the pair of pegs on and go get some grinding in on the park at the back of my house as i havent got pegs on any other of my rides. think I'll ride it hard for a while and see where it stands after some abuse, as its in a pretty sorry state paint wise and really could do with a powdercoat

[john4130]

here's a pic of the pedals i have, still spin nice and just need a clean up. can't find the iron cross brake mod i made just yet, it's probably hiding in my shed but i will find it.

[Jaymz]

sweet mate, how much for the weighty bad boys?
