Anyone got any info one these? Who designed them? Did they come as a complete bike? How much did they cost new? Has anyone got any sticker scans or brochure pictures?

Thanks

( Daddy changed Baby

Ash has one of the nicest restored ones ive seen, his decals were from Del, also the big daddy and sugar baby were the same frame i believe

Ohh, I have a hemorrhoid type seat on it now, it also has hoffman wheels with skidmark tyres but I'm gonna get rid of them

Flatland legend Kevin Jones designed the Big Daddy frame.

Alright Lucas... do you mean a 'Sugar Baby' ... don't think there was a Sugar Daddy

Ash's one used to be mine ... he wanted to redo it as a white Big Daddy ... it was in a pretty good condition before that.

I've got a full page advert from Hoffman from a 96 Ride mag I can scan for ya.

The parts on it when I had it were pretty mush stock apart from the tyres, seat post, seat

Get one,they are nice

, I have some hoffman generator rims to formula hubs with some hoffman skidmark tyres I'm getting rid of. Along with some hoffman jumping bars and a primo hemorrhoid style seat.

Jaymz · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2012, 06:17 PM »

could be tempted by the primo seat for my DK pending condition/price/possible trades

my hoffman sd 4 done up as a neil ruffell retro style.. the big daddy was kevin jones creation. the sugar baby was a later lower end complete bike with cro mo downtube and seatube i think so not full cr mo but same geometry.

the sd 4 was after kevin had left hoffman bikes and they built completes in full cr mo with the same geometry just changed some of the tubing sizes etc. no headtube gussett, ad lugs front and rear, oval top and downtubes.

Mine has ad lugs, oval tob and bottom tubes, I don't know whether do it with ez bars, blue skyways, get it respayed white, white tanwalls with pivotal etc, or restore it? Or a mix of both? With the original decals and mid school bars?

ED209 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2012, 07:50 PM »

Sugar Baby was full Cro-mo... exactly the same as the Big Daddy but a different name so Kevin Jones 'stopped getting paid' ( quote! )
