They look more like early Redline forks to me

Guy,

The M2 racing forks

gmac · « **Reply #10 on:** July 13, 2007, 11:45 AM »

If you look at the drops outs, the back portion that's welded to the fork, is at a right angle on the JMC's forks. On the Bottemas, they are more slanted.

Not sying they ain't Bottemas, they just look more like Redline to me

Frosty · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2007, 11:48 AM »

Guy,

Just found another pic of the M2's there is a weld behind, but I must admit it is not clear from the pics available if they are Bottema's or Redlines!

gmac · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2007, 11:54 AM »

We certainly do seem to have a 'situation' here

I think we need a close up of the fork drops to make sure

Frosty · « **Reply #13 on:** July 13, 2007, 11:56 AM »

Indeed, the Bottema's do have a distinctive cut out that could be easier to spot with a close up

theRuler · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2007, 12:03 PM »

yo baldbmxer you gonna ride that jmc?

Jon ,

It's a heap 'o junk mate , I'll be up at the weekend to collect

I'm not clued up on how to restore rides, so what would be the first process in restoring that JMC

Would be good to see a step by step process

Would that rot have weakened the frame in any way?

Frosty · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2007, 04:01 PM »

Muttley,

That really depends on how bad it is. If the f+f is given the oxalic acid treatment then it will be possible to see what damage (ie how much tuing has been corroded away) has been done.

then I guess the next question would be if any tubes needed replacing/repairing, this may depend on the finish to be applied and also whether the bike is to be a show pony or work horse!!

Back in 1997 I saw a pk ripper frameset that had been found underneath a compost heap where it had been for 10 years. Should've bought it then, but I was into newschool bmx then.

SaMAlex · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2007, 11:59 PM »

I dont know much about JMC frames, what one is that?

I have started putting together a Shadow Ive got and it feels like a little kids bike! The top tube is 18.5 inches, but it feels like its about 15"! I guess now Im used to bikes that have a top tube above 20 inches.

baldbmxer · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2007, 08:02 AM »

Its a Darryl Young frame. The Shadow is for didy people!

matt · « **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2007, 09:46 AM »

OK, thanks. When I got the bike it had 1 3/8th wheels on it ... and Darryl Young bars!!!! I will still put it back together much like it was when I got it, just with 20 x 1.75 wheels.

baldbmxer · « **Reply #24 on:** July 16, 2007, 06:57 PM »
