Heres one for ya Alex, I've never seen this (or noticed maybe) differences of the seatstays on different Holmes models....

The Holmes i know and love....

.....and this one with whacky stays....

....you've probably got one! Can you shed any light on this?....

SaMAlex · « **Reply #38 on:** June 07, 2007, 01:40 PM »

thin rear stays, no 990 mounts (and some other small things too) = mk1

curved "team murry" rear stays = mk2

fatter rear stays (in mk1 style) and usually with 990 mounts = mk3

Actually, Ive got a mk2 f+f for sale. I might give it a new coat of paint first tho.

Lazarou · « **Reply #39 on:** June 07, 2007, 01:46 PM »

That's that cleared up then! I'd never seen those curved stays before, thanks Ask Alex!

the black and white photo is moeller holding my custom toptube frame

i could do with it!

so, just to get it straight in my head what i'm searching for, what would the first 1\18th a-head holmes frames be called?

oversized?

btw, is it me or are those s&m pads an absolute nightmare to get hold of? i've been combing usa e-bay for over a sodding year!

they cant have made that many 1/18th holmes frames as they dumped the holmes and starting building the "classic dirtbike xl"

they should have kept the old "holmes" name, i personally think thats what the "light as fook" should have been as it bore more in common with the holmes than the "heavy as fook"

there talk of s&m reproducing some of the old decal sets, has anyone else heard this?

harris · « **Reply #43 on:** June 07, 2007, 02:14 PM »

yes ive heard the same ,i need a set of holmes 1" but might take a while.

Posted these up a while ago on the 'other' site but here's how to tell the difference between a mk1 Holmes and a mk3:

Early headtube has thin pressed and welded strengthening rings; later version has a thicker machined headtube.

Older S&M frames (and the very first Homeless) have a flat plate bridge behind the BB shell and up at the brake mount. No AD lugs either. Later braces are tubular.

Rear seat post junction is different as the early models had thinner tubing and normally cracked there, whereas the later ones had a mitred joint which is much stronger. You can see the cracked chrome on the right stay; thankfully after I had the chrome stripped the tube was okay.

Hope that helps someone?
