Cheers Lamby
i reall dig te dancer, but have no idea of the models, but i'll get the ball rolling anyway
.
first of all, all the later than 84 models on the bmxmuseum seem to have them loops, there is also an '84 with loops (apparently an SF201
http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/scorpion/70451) but i'd guess you'rs is an 84 anyway. Haven't looked into this yet but your serial might indicate that year.
Something makes you think yours is a SF201 ............... well ok
There seem to have been several different models.
Here Del posts some pics (
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,68442.0.html reply#6):
The first shows that a
SF101 would have cost 155 bitd, and a
SF201 180 pnds.
The second pic shows a
ZF100.
According to this test (cheers Moley) of the ZF100....

THe ZF101, and the ZF 201.
the ZF100 was cromoly chromoly chrome moly whatever and just F+F 139 pnds.
the ZF101 was HiTensile with alloys and complete bike for 155, and the ZF201 was a complete with ACORN mags, cost you 180 available from Halfords; think it also had the third brake, like the ZF100.
Here is the first page of that SF ad (hiho ORBio)
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,63721.0.html (reply#13)
and there you see again,that also an SF model would/could have them loops.
Well, what's the difference between ZF and SF ............ i do not know.
(but QuadPaul quotes something here, that shows that the differences between the sf100, 101, 201 were analogue (word?) to them of the zf's).
Big question ...............so why a) doesn't yours have them loops, and b) how do you know it's an SF201?
, welcome to rad'd.co.uk btw
edit:
heres a pic (
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,68442.0.html) of a ZF100 (belongs to fouronethreeoh!#s mate, way back) and it doesn't seem to have the loops.
edit: ...looked again, might have some sort of loops after all ...lol
