After a long old hectic 3 weeks at work, finally got the time to go pick these up from a good fella near me

(Yet another) MK1 1997 DK SOB (sadly had the old 14mm drop mod):

And a 1996 Ramp Room Hoffman Flash:

Crackin stuff - well chuffed. Reckon I'll build up the Flash (if I can find the right forks for it) and take it out to the trails. Had one in the 90's, and loved the geometry for trails

That flash is lush Danny! Well done!

Cheers Olly

Just to add (as I'm even more chuffed) - got an S&M tee through from Bikefactory over in Hawaii for winning the 20" threaded section over at the Museum (cheers again Don for organising):

Thought that was it, but just got a parcel through I've not opened yet - from S&M HQ

Danny I drool with envy yet again.

Sweet score on the frames, and what a great prize for winning the comp, those tee are the nuts

harris · « **Reply #12 on:** May 29, 2012, 07:38 PM »

The 14mm dropout things something i got use to a while back
unless im building something proper mint,then i dont mind as tbh it was just progression.
a show pony on the other hand i might get them fixed,a nice tidy ride im easy with 14mm.

Agreed Danny - it's the same as every ding and scratch you get on them - bit of the frames history I reckon. Then again, you'd be upset at one of the frames I've got here that's had it's drops opened to 14mm, beautiful chrome, but opened drops, christ knows why as well cos the frames from 1988 with an 18.5" TT - unless the old owner was a shorty, dunno why you'd bother

Nice! Woodbridge perchance? You got them for a steal!

kev-s · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2012, 12:19 PM »

nice

they were a bargin, my limit was £120 but they went over that before i had even bid

Dannywhac · « **Reply #19 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:06 PM »

Did get these through the other day as well - top sets original, bottoms repop (and slightly larger) - they're for the 1988 chrome frame I mentioned earlier in the thread

Just need to get the S&M repop OG Dirtbike decal set for the headtube and seattube decals for the full MD set - anyone know if 4Down's got them in yet?

Betty · « **Reply #20 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:20 PM »

Another nice score Danny

The cranks were from Woodbridge

Kev, i went to £130 but didn't win em, got em in the end on a second chance offer at £130

Might get em repaired proper, don't think they'll stand up to much abuse as they are

Sorry for the threadjack Danny

harris · « **Reply #21 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:23 PM »
