Lovely USA taj on the bay
« on: September 26, 2014, 10:57 AM »
Is this a USA taj complete or has someone got a good eye for detail(apart from the love bars). I didn't think they made them complete from this era,nice bike though,,would go to the end of the earth for those forks   "help"

Yeah Ste, they made em completes from 1997. That one ain't though, they came with 1-piece cranks, the sprockets a 1998 and if the deecs aren't repops that makes that TAJ one of the Tai made '97s. Also the wheelsets wrong for the completes  :)

Ah - they also came on the interim Tai mid '97 1 1/8" frames fella, before the later decals came out, so the Taiwan ones did come with the 95/6 Ramp Room TAJ deecs for a few months.

I've got a complete mid '97 Tai kicking about here (scuse the sh1t pic):



Tis an early Tai one - backed up by the serial being 001. There's a fair amount of mis-info about the early 1 1/8"s not coming with the older Ramp Room deecs - all a load of bollocks though - a mate of mine bought one in mid '97 in that metal flake blue with the Ramp Room deecs on it. Got some pics somewhere (if the ex missus didn't burn em  :LolLolLolLol: )

Was just looking at that.  Tiz in nice shiney condition.  I'd love the forks and stem, they'd look lovely on mine  :)

I spotted this too its a real nice bike with some sweet parts on it
but Its got ramp rooms rear dropouts (open tubes) but the head tube gusset is stamped HB which I thought only came on Thai frames?
