Will measure it up when I'm back at the lock up. It was purchased from Darren Stock. It's really light , and the welds are beautiful. Guessing it was one of his race frames.

All Wilson frames had that 5" headtube

easy to spot when you find a decal-less frame set

Yes, been looking for the banana mags, but could only locate Acorns.. Would love a set.

I have bought loads of one off's especially tyres, can't find another one anywhere.

Taipan · « **Reply #17 on:** November 11, 2021, 11:07 AM »

I'm sure there's a thread on here where people are asking for the buddy for a single bmx part they've bought?

I've also seen the odd bananna mag and even a couple of pairs of the years unfortunately they weigh a tonne lol and the adverts were always collection only and as usual miles away lol $:-\$

I've posted up on that thread a few times, but with no luck. Search eBay every day hoping another orphan ST or HARO tyre will pop up.i'm going to stick with the Acorns as they look pretty cool. Steve.

Nearly all parts collected now, just awaiting one item in the post which is the number plate decal, then I will get it built up, and in Decembers BOTM. Number plate decal added to this top end build, I need a hoist to lift the frame onto my bike nils stand.
