Jad do some crazy stuff such as frames and hubs too...

[brass monkey!]

that's mad !!

................very 'Raleigh Commando-esque' LOL !!

that frame was pretty tough according to a test i read in a bmx mag

although some people maintain that they were weak as floppy shit

the cranks were always good though!

anyone know what those chrome bits on the downtube are? could they be cable guides?

They're holding the frame together cos someone actually sat on it!

There was a classic test in US Ride were Dave Young and another SD ripper who I forget, rode the bike, and mashed it. There was a thread on here a while ago about it, I think someone even posted up pics from the test. The thing that amazed me was that the owner of Jad could believe what they (the test riders) were doing on BMXs! Who did he design the bike for if not BMXers and how did he design it without knowing what people did on them?!

They do look nice tho, very different

[Lazarou]

I remember that! What happened to Dave Young? He was a maniac!

[harris]

as in "yoda" dave young or another
