After a week and a half of waiting it finally turned up! It's in really good condition apart from it looks like its had a weld on the built in seat clamp so if anybody has a mk2 93 could they send me a close up pic?, also has got gen 1 super forks and clamp on super stem:)

That's real nice, superforks as well

The seat clamp was partially welded to the seatstays on that version if that's what You mean?

Lol no it looks like chewing gum haha but stodgy told me this is common for a early gack frame?

Ah yes, I get you! Get a pic up of the weld, so We can see how dodgy it is

It's not been re chromed recently so I'd say it might be og but just looks strange to me as I can't see why this would have been rechromed when it was done say 10-11ish years ago as it wouldn't have been collectible... If I would have done the same it would have just been welded and sprayed or something

I see what You mean, it's not the best but the early Ramp Room frames were a bit rough & ready in places! I think the welds were a lot thicker in that area anyway, think about how big the fill weld would have to be to fill the gap between the seattube & the clamp.

i'm pleased you got one at last

that clamp area looks original to me.

Don't get your hopes up just yet tho as I'm risking £75 sending through Weston union money transfers and he could be a scammer but as no 1 has answered any of my wanted adds im going to have to take 1 for the team!

fugazi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2012, 06:39 PM »

I went & checked My stash as I thought I might have some Patriots, turned out They're US made Low Drags with the Bomberman logo on, close but no cigar!

That's lovely, can't wait to see it built

So how does that fork stem work ? are the forks threaded all the way & the stem clamps to the threads ?

Mdbh · « **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2012, 06:50 AM »

I will take some pics later for you:)

I'm always on the look out for pair of Low Drags ( my fav bars

) if they ever need to leave 'the stash'

Are those bars from the guy who would only accept western union payment? If so it seems like he came through for you. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

No Jon I gave up on that idea as it was a bit risky I got these of kuwahero:)

Mdbh · « **Reply #24 on:** August 16, 2012, 07:10 PM »

Chucked a few bits on her tonight and I'm not liking fork/stem combo ithink it's way to chunky for this frame, just wish my friend would sell me the forks so I can run my tnt
