harris · « **Reply #9 on:** June 26, 2007, 10:01 PM »

i think he rode a bully over here in the uk ,but didnt no he rode for them new info

theRuler · « **Reply #10 on:** June 26, 2007, 10:03 PM »

aha
well he rode one anyway

just wanna do something decent with my bully bashguard frame and FORKS!!!! yes got the forks

it's either a hoffman rep or an alex leech rep. but al's bike was so individual i don't think i could do it justice. maybe i should just give it to him

si tabron also rode one though. and larry bull, iirc

harris · « **Reply #11 on:** June 26, 2007, 10:05 PM »

Thats a very kind thought, thanks. My Bully had ACS RL Edge 48s and matching tyres (although I changed to Peregrine hubs cos the ACS ones were crap). Redline/Sugino 400s, Shimano DXs, GT Malet stem, Haro Knee savers, a pit bull and a Boa. It was all just run of the mill stuff at the time but I bet it'd be a nightmare to build now!

how cool is that alex? you've got someone wanting to build a replica of one of your bikes.... that's gotta be the ultimate compliment.

I think that Green Machine down in Devon had a couple of Bully frames NOS when I was down there last summer cant remember if they were bashguard models.

Might be worth a shout.

I think green machine only have/had the later, non bash ones. Still worth cheking tho.

I sat last night and started to type out the parts that were on my Bully. It didnt take long and when I had finished I had to to pause and think how sad/cool it is to be able to real off the parts on a bike that I rode for a year, 17 years ago!!!!

Too right its cool! Very flattering. Its just a shame to pick the Bully! The worst of my ex bikes, including the Ultra Burner!! ha ha

You'll just need some tubes of super glue to stick the ends.

I still have the dreads at home somewhere. You can just borrow them.

Get hold of a copy of 'Slow Ride', the Bully Video and make a replica of the Bullys that the Dirt Bros / Vic Murphy rode. I think that most of them used the early non bash ones (the ones just like the bash ones ... but without, not like the pistons). Or, talking Bully team riders, how about a Domingues replica? You would have to find some super high white converse boots to go with it!
