Author Topic: ID "Patterson" frame according SN (Read 2269 times)

Hi oldschool nerds,

have a frame at hand. Dude told me it´s supposed to be a Patterson, bought in 89 or 90.
No pickies yet, but SN there. It´s: 2860929 P on the left dropout/outside

Some experts here who can prove the theory of a Patterson with the SN?

cheers

hmm.. helps a bit.
frame was bought end 80s/beg 90s, but was old stock from a BMX shop. Mate got it cheapo you know.

will post pics this weekend. frame is cromo and with rather mint welds from first sight. dropouts look like a Patterson from which i´ve seen on here RAD and the museum. but no stamp or anything. anyway pretty sure its no noname,... but i´m no os expert.

will come back with pics.

It's a model of Patterson frame/fork, loads of examples on BMXMuseum.

Wow, that is weird! That is the 1st Patterson I've seen with that style head tube and without the brace behind the bottom bracket. Those drop outs and the date stamp is definitely Patterson from all the ones I've seen and owned. I currently own one with a smooth head tube, not stepped like all the others. Mine came directly from one of the Patterson brothers, I only live an hour or so from where they live. Here's a pic of mine, some of you have probably....

That is probably a GT head tube, GT was building the Patterson's at the time so it's totally possible.

I thought it wasn't a Patterson,but i couldn't work out just what it was

dordymush · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2013, 11:03 PM »

im sure there was a thread that found out what it was and it deffo wasn't a patty.
the reason i ask is its surfaced and i was just about to go and have a look at this frame when i remember it being something other than it apeared.
its cheap if anybody wanted a frame.
got the lads details but he says its deffo a patty that i dont think it is $:-\$
