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

Peter J · « **Reply #7 on:** February 10, 2013, 10:27 AM »

Even the grips and tyres ?

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

I've got one of those SR cro-mo cranks

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.

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #11 on:** February 10, 2013, 12:56 PM »

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.

Nick,What do you mean by trim? Hope this isn't a daft question

parts fitted to the bike when sold as a full bike

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #14 on:** February 10, 2013, 01:06 PM »

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

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.

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2013, 01:20 PM »

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.

Are they UKAI Speedlines in the photo ?

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

Nick

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