...if any had a straight through top tube like a GT

but with a bent down tail like this beast?

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #1 on:** September 11, 2013, 01:36 AM »

think it begins with a V***** ?

COULD BE WRONG

oldschoolace · « **Reply #2 on:** September 11, 2013, 12:45 PM »

Just had a look and i'm not sure V fits the bill $:-\$
I have Dyno in my head for some reason, early mid school perhaps?

Titans did, but they had extra tubes elsewhere and an oval TT on some models, auburn too, they did ones without the removable back end

only know of mid ones: Haro's Blammo and S&M Kris Bennett

...or the Challenger (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,140304.msg1364295.html#msg1364295)

1977 pedals Ready GT is similar to what your looking for.

Cheers for the reponse guys, i did think of Auburn but its not quite right.
I'm guessing a Pedals Ready GT isnt cheap Ash?

Looking to do a cut and shut as a rare freestyle replica so dont want to cut up anything too tasty

Think i may have to stray into mid school to find what i need but still looking for smaller diameter tubing $:-\$

Not cheap and not available to buy either as those that have them pretty much refuse to let them go. I was trying to sort one out a little while ago but the £2500 + price tag made me think otherwise

They are cool but also mega rare, they were also decaled up as Gary Turner frames rather than the Pedals ready GT decals in the pic which were also cool to see.

Thanks for the pic, looks a cool frame.

Imagine i the uproar if i cut one of those up for an oddball luggage rack freestyler

I have a Diamond Back frame that is like that.

This is what i thought i may have a go at replicating

Note how the very tip of the top tube forms the rear brake mount

That top tube is exactly the same as my Diamond Back, the tip has the brake mount on it.

I will dig out a picture tomorrow.

I think you would need quite a lot of natural hair to replicate this style, a wig maybe easier

58 delray · « **Reply #16 on:** September 12, 2013, 01:48 PM »

why cut something up to replicate that frame, why not just get some tubing and replicate it that way ?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2013, 01:54 PM »

Building a frame frome scratch would be quite expensive, while adapting an existing frame is much simpler and cost effective

stidds · « **Reply #18 on:** September 12, 2013, 02:40 PM »

Here is my Diamond Back.
