Frame + Forks ID
« on: April 28, 2012, 10:01 AM »
Hi Guys,

I bought a bit of a joblot of bits and bobs from a lad a couple of weeks ago and im just getting round to sorting out what is what.  If possible, if anyone can shed some light on the frame/forks then that would be great.  I was told (and i didnt bother checking as the lot was cheap) that the frame was a 2008 Subrosa Pandora but surely it would be stamped somwhere?  Pretty much everyone stamps their frames these days right?

So....The only markings on the frame is the usual bottom bracket serial number which reads YS207H0311.  The frame has been painted red and is in a desperate need of a new coat, it looks to have had the gyro tabs removed on the steer tube.  The seat post clamp is a Hoffman Bikes but that probably wont match the frame.

The forks are matt black tapered and arent stamped on the dropouts, they have stickers on either side at the bottom which are United but again, they could have been put there?  They dont look as though they have been resprayed as the finish is too good for matt.  They are stamped at the top with: 2024 FCM  11-10  145L.

have a looksy at the pics below and any ideas would be great :)  cheers lads

I should know this by now, but are 2 holes on the headtube for a gyro then?

 :) 06 Hoffman Disrupter or Rhythm would be my guess.

The later high end HB Disrupter & Rhythm frames did have internal headsets, but They also have a downtube gusset, which the frame above doesn't.
Do you grovel to your master? Do you beg like a dog?

 :) Hoffman Loyalty maybe? Similar to the Rhythm/Disruptor but no d/t gusset.

Cheers for all of your help lads, its definately looking like its a Hoffman :) .  Ive got most of the bits for a new build so it will all be sent in the direction of the powder coaters i think :)

Nice one boys!
