Supercross History
« on: September 19, 2017, 02:35 PM »
Was doing a bit of research on the mid-school Supercross frames and found this brilliant section on their website, talking about the early days including the idea behind the frame design and the first team riders. Apologies if it's been posted here before but it's a bloody excellent read and worthy of my first mid-school thread! Anyway, enough of my banter, here's the link:-

As Daz says, great frames to ride and great history. Check Daz's in RAD museum, lovely in white.
Bill Ryan is a top man, contacted me after a Preston meet 2009 when someone sent him a random photo.
Used it for their 20 year anniversary and told me all about my frame as it has double thickness dropouts, still uses the pics on the site today. Stoked.

Can't believe nobody has snapped up the 96 in the for sale. Bargain at £120.

Yeah, it was that ^^^ '96 which prompted my research!! Must resist!!!!!

I assume the link you've posted is the new and improved version of the company history mentioned in the one I posted. It definitely reads better but has lost all the really interesting stuff about who was making or supposed to be making the frames, and all the behind-the-scenes racing stuff! All good though. :daumenhoch:

 :) I`ve had several Supercross frames over the years-can`t fault them.I thought Bill was a  tosser when I tried to order a new decal set and he wanted £55 to ship them to the UK & wouldn`t budge.:)

They do make some nice frames and the old ones certainly have some interesting points to them.

Have one of the Anarchy Cruiser frames which was a bit of a testing ground (Rear Triangle is flipped around) for Supercross.
Also get to see a fair few of the 450 frames which are very nice. Although the dark blue version is a lot more subtle then all the chrome ones.

Awesome read, I really like super cross stuff, I’ve got a spare set of super cross tyres for sale if anyone’s interested.
