Hoffman Taj PHOTO'S ADDED
« on: August 23, 2012, 07:13 AM »
I've got one of these that I got off Bigplinky that I'm going to restore, so need some info please, it's a Frame which needs Painting + Superforks with stem combo. It has no stamps so I'm guessing it's a ramproom made frame, it was 10mm dropouts but has been opened up to 14mm.

Amy info on colour decals etc would be much apprechiated  :daumenhoch:

Will post pic's tonight once I'm home  :)

Just found these

Light blue is by far the best colour for a Taj in my opinion.  :smitten:

Whats the TT length on the Taj 21"?


Taj frames had a 20.75" Top tube, the 75 degree head angle made them feel like 21"

Here's a picture of my Taj, it has the the HB stamp in the headtube gusset, pearl blue paint and 14mm drops which makes it a 97 Taiwanese model. Still an awesome bike though. I have built it similar to how Taj rode his 96 BITD.
