None of them are hard to locate, that should be a really easy build.

A set of those tyres were on ebay.com last week and you can usually find a set on BMX Museum for sale.

What are the rear dropouts like on these? I've seen pro series with 3 holes, gt pro with 3 holes,match one with 3 holes..then I've seen the same frames with 4 holes ? I had what I think was a pro series? Then I was told, it's a match one? Then was told is was a pro because of the top tube length!! Got rid of it in the end.. Sold it as a gt confused. :)

The US made Pro were the same as the Mach One, just trim that was different; however, the forks changed later to have cut outs near the drop outs. Has 3 holes and a 4 stamped next to frame number on rear drop out.
The Expert was shorter, has either a 2 or 3 stamped next to frame number (can't remember which)

That's how I remember it.

If you look here, the Mach One is the same F&F but has lesser parts. Look at the price :shocked: :shocked: :'(

So to build a rep of the yellow team series I'd need an 84 Pro frame with three holes in the drop out and the serial number to start with a 4 ?

No the 4 is not part of the serial number, like on a Performer which has FS stamped to one side.

I'm not sure which frame the Team Series was, ask Pete Quad, he had one.

Here you can see the serial number along the top (just a coincidence it starts with a 4). Then down and left is a lone number 4, this shows it's a pro frame.

Which one?

The advert or the one of mine?

Mine - no they are Ukai but I think they are known as box rims. I couldn't find any NOS speed lines when I built mine so NOS box rims from the US did instead.
And lovely they are too.

Advert - yes

Do you have an official parts list for the Team Series in that Ad ?
