New project- Standard shorty custom
« on: June 07, 2012, 09:46 PM »
Scored this on eBay- massive thanks to Jaymz for letting me know :daumenhoch:

Got it and it was missing a wheel, and needed a serious clean up, cleaned it up a bit, but tomorrow I'm gonna try and get some nitromors and get the chrome visible as the bits I can see look lovely. Then just gonna get some odi toadstools and a rear 990, and recoat the seat and it's finished. Although I might need to sell it as I want to get an iPad :-\

Here are the pics anyway







What pegs are these?



What bars and stem are these too? Has a cool original s&m sticker on the bars though :daumenhoch:



odyssey gyro and better pic of the bars and stem

How much would I get if I was to sell this though?

Thanks, Lucas. :daumenhoch:

You got it then Lucas - you're right as well I do like it  :daumenhoch: , it's a corker. Custom ad lugs - nice :)

They look like S&M Castillo bars, looking at the forks, they are either KHE or Dragonfly's I think. Can you measure the steerer on the forks fella? If it's not 1 1/8" then they might be wierd KHE forks/stem combo.

Nearly forgot - the pegs look like Hoffman Hardy pegs, although there were a load of generic copies of em in the late 90's.

Eaaand I think that's a sealed Joytech rear hub?

S&M did 4 piece bars, Think they were Castillo bars or something, I could be confused. Is that a 10mm hub on the rear, Looks like a race wheel, Radial laced on one side and cross laced on drive side :daumenhoch:

Yeah it has a mint sugino cr-mo crank on it too which was pretty good :daumenhoch: yeah I don't think that it is 1 1/8", I had my doubts too, I'll measure it tomorrow when I do the rest of the work on it :daumenhoch:

And the hub is sovos or something? :) will be sad to see it go as I might have to get rid of it when it's done :(

Whats the serial number on the frame Lucas? It's on the bottom bracket.

There should be a letter = month (ie a= January, b=february etc), then 5 numbers - the first two = the year

That's not a Standard serial number fella - you sure?

I wonder.....the seatstays/seattube junction screams Standard, that serial though looks more like a Dragonfly/Heavytools (although the seatstay/seattube junctions different to yours).....

I'll have a better look in the morning as it has paint on the serial number and my hallway is really dark :)

Yeah deffo still a nice bike :) Coaster-wise Gary you're right, but a load of peeps ground the feckers off in the late 90's. Platform is a tad short n'all :)

Think Danny's got it spot on - another giveaway is the bridge between the seatstays - it's a small guage tube than the stays, I think Standards use the same guage tube. Looking at that serial, poss from 1996? Still a nice frame, would make a belting flatland/mini bike :)

cyclesports of grantham got in the crapper btd for putting standard shorty decals on the copies..tut tut
not saying it is but a few issues from the pictures plus the coaster tab ,seat stay,serial,plus the parts on it arnt what you would put on a £400+ frame.

Looks like a Shorty copy Cyclesport sold under the Prolite brand name for a while, I think I've got the Ride mag with a review of it in somewhere, I'll look for it if I get chance  :daumenhoch:

Found the ad for this last night - it's a Dragonfly Generix Rookie from winter '96 through 1997 - I'll pop a scan up inna tick :)
