Some Late Mid (HEAVY!) S&M bikes
« on: February 20, 2012, 10:21 AM »
I had a bit of a tidy up at the weekend and took a pic of some of the frames stashed at the back of the shed
I only really have 1-inch bikes (apart from my real bike) but Ive picked up a few early 1 1/8 frames along the way.

"Oh My Back!"  :shocked:

Hernia time :) Love the late 90's heavy metal bikes - riding the buggers gave you a six-pack though - all that lifting.......

The Oversized Dirtbike is my mate Ian's*. He doesnt BMX much any more and that bike "lives" at mine. He has some other nice BMX's too, which I might get out of him one day!  ;)

Why stop with a Call Girl? OS Holmes, Next Gen Holmes, PBR & Bennet (I rode both of those frames for a while). There are/were quite a few S&M frames, which is why i drew the line at 1" ones. I dont wanna have 40+ bikes! haha

Forgot about the Bennet if we're talking heavy late midschoolery  :D

I've got a spare room and cellar/loft full of 7lbs+ frames that I'm too scared to ride for fear of damaging my now flimsy body - none of them S&M though  :shocked:

My first OverSized bike was a Next Gen Dirtbike. It was just too much. Then I had a normal OverSized Dirtbike, then a Challenger, a Bennet and a PBR, and then back to the Challenger (and even that was heavy!). I didnt really get on with the weight of any of them  :'(
God bless the LAF!  :daumenhoch:

You're not wrong there  :daumenhoch:

The other thing with the late 90's/early 00's were the bloody forks - weighing in at nearly the same as the frames (well, bit of an over-exaggeration...) - I remember going from using on dirt DK race forks to DK Streets - front end of the bike just wouldn't stay pointing in the right direction :)

He has some 80s tat. His old Hutch, a few Loop-tail PKs (I think the blue one pictured is in my shed), maybe a TA / Aero Burner or 2 (he went tho loads of both of them, he was well into the DBI thing).













He might still have a 1" dirtbike but I think thats gone. I know he has a very nice Early OverSized Challenger cos I found it for him not long ago  :daumenhoch:

 ;D You got me back though Kev - STANDARD PEGS!

Think there might be an interesting story behind these frames - seems they came out around the time that S&M started full blown in-house production? Either the dropouts are Kastan made (as S&M didn't have a laser cutter at the time or summit?) or Kastan made em for em - the serials on the BB, other one's have the serial as per on one of the drops, some have 'USA' on the seatstay wishbone, some don't..... good old S&M  :daumenhoch:
