Picked this frame up from Dan Harris at MK this year, an early, aluminium 2Hip Pork as well as a NOS, but shelf weary steel one from Shiners, fortunately, ` Desperate Dordy' took the steel one off my hands within the hour, so I didn't have to drag 3 of them up the motorway! (I already had my existing raw steel one with me)

It was yellow when I got it, although it is my favourite colour, I didn't want it that way, so it went to the powder monkey near me with the strict order to `do it what colour you want, but moody'! so I was happy a few days later with `marron' (hazlenut to us brits!)

Its built up with pretty much all the bits from my now sold raw steel one (cheers Webbie) and am thrilled that it comes in at 26lb!!

Might go back to my dyno bars, these Juice bars are a bit odd, but i'll give them a fair go first!

Other than that, I reckon its just a full decal set and its done.

Parts

Affix triple butted fork
Black box rims, prolite seaed hubs, 13t freewheel, Primo wall tyres
Primo Hollowbytes, 36t profile imperial, S&M 101 pedals
Oddy stem, NOS Juice bars, ame bubblefont low flange Tri's
Primo Rod, Oddy z77, a seat clamp!!(and shim, 27.2 seat tube, race bike it ain't!)
Tech 77, DC caliper, the dearer one, not hombre!

Think I was stood next to you when you bought this, there was a steel one there aswell and the difference in weight was amazing.

Is that really a z77 seat? Looks like a Cobra from the pic?

I was with you Dave and you just caught Mark popping out his Campervan

A couple of words and not even 2 mins later and the deal was done

It made sense for Mark he must have saved £30 in juice on the way home ,, that yellow 2Pork steel frame was a foooohooookin monster ,, must be going on 8lbs ,,,,or maybe 8 ton

The frame design awesome and I love it

Love that frame. Too many bike companys nowadays are afraid .to be different in design.

FOUR1THREE0 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2013, 03:26 PM »

Loving this! If you ever want rid of those juice bars give me a shout really want some!

LENNY-LENTINI · « **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2013, 03:52 PM »

Weird thing is.

I've ridden this bike and apart from its 90's looks it actually rides like a new schooler.

When i got the tape out it had a 13.75 rear end!

Very cool bike Munny's

Keep the Faith. L

HEYWOOD BMX · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2013, 05:53 PM »

Sure looks good.In The Albion issue ten in the Martyn Tasmbling interview the 2Hip Pork is referred to as an "overly-built JCB sausage bike"

Love that frame. Too many bike companys nowadays are afraid .to be different in design.

Well do you ever wonder why shiner were selling these off? They were, let's be honest, piles of shit frames, improved purely by nostalgia, I love Ron w but his kooky bikes of the 90s were bloody awful! Wal riots? Shit. 2hip big boy / stout boy? Really shit. Pork? Don't get me started. Lovely of Ron to plough his own furrow, but it wasn't a particularly good furrow to plough.
There's a reason every frame looks similar today, insofar as you can't greatly improve on a double diamond hard tail!
