Nice pile of bits there Not wanting to pish on Your chips but I think that HAF is actually a Prolite, a copy of the S&M. The V brake & cable stops give it away.
I know they put the stamp on the frame to clear up any confusion. Im sure they didnt like the copy HAF frames.I think S&M were used to it by then, what with companies buying "slam type" bars from the Far East catalogue and putting their own stickers on them.
Personally I think you should build up one of the wal's. then sell the other to Gavin.
Cheers for info guys, Yeah I know the s&m is a bit of a weird one, apparently it was a special order with a 21.5 top tube cable guides and rear canti mounts.The guy I bought it off got it with various other goodies from a guy that bought the entire old shop stock from i thought he said custom riders? But if it was cycle sports old stock then maybe it is a fake! HahaIt has no stamp on the rear is there anything else I can identify it on?? I have just had issue 10 out of ride 'fat bikes' and drop outs look the same also gusset and platform etc.He did tell me that all haf's were produced in chrome and then over powdered. This one definitely has as a little bit of yellow flaked of when I put the bb in. It's a really nice job and the thickest powder coat I have ever seen.I think the guy I bought it off is on here?? He is definitely on bmx museum as this very frame is on there. I will go and check it out.
Radror is Rory on here:http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1579He originally got that frame from Generallee (Steve), maybe give Steve a pm and get the history behind it. I'm sure there was no intention when you got it of any funny business - sound blokes
