any ideas if this brake plate is just a generic one or something more i.e standard, hoffman etc...




its made of steel and the lugs are welded on not bolted

Drill it out anyway Kev  :daumenhoch:

Looks a bit like a 4-Jeri one I had years ago - although I think from memory didn't Hoffman do a similar one? Might be talking b0llocks though. The Fluffy Toy, DNA and the rest all had angles edges rather than them there curved one's so ain't one of those :)

Its IDENTICAL  to the one I bought last month from DansComp in the states for my 2012 condor build. This cost $9.99 but by the time I reached the checkout it had grown to $45!! Luckily the customs didnt catch me lol   It weighs an absolute TON!! I stripped mine down and hammerited it white..............

yeah all hoffman ones were alloy.  that steel one is one paul murray made up, he came up with doing them at hoffman bikes when he was working there but basically gave the idea to leigh ramsdell to run them under the useless brand (leigh also sold them to poorboy and bully).
that particular black mount is one of the earliest paul made, he made less than 10 of that exact style. that mount is the one paul gave to leigh to use and prototype and leigh gave it back to paul then gave it to me.  :daumenhoch:
