Um, I think you mean the one I found!
FFS what's a man gotta do to get credit around here?!
It's a dirt jump bike - but tough enough for anything!

sounds a bit extreme but i'd be looking at getting an early spooky made T1 barcode and building both them up as taj replica's
the fiola,dominguez, itson,haro,etc replicas that have been built are some of the best bikes i've seen built
not exactly nos but with a little patina?
its not easy to say what kind of build to go for as taj was riding everything at the time, a dirt build would seem more appropriate to me,
e-mail taj and ask him
straight up!

he is a bad ass rider.i always remembered him on street doing manuals for like ever and cool stuff
but the dirt thing ,i dont remember alot about that,bar a few indoor racing meets were they did mad flips
during the interval.
its a mishmash of bits at the minuite .it will re build soon
now i look, the more i want to go outside an pull it all to pieces.

TAJ also stood for 'Todd's a Jerk' i think referring to Todd Huffman. I think some were released with those stickers.

I believe all those names for the 'TAJ' were put on after Taj left Hoffman...as they wanted to keep it in the range, but not keep it as a signature bike.
Dan - pull those bars back a bit (in line with the forks) and you'll find it much nicer mate. And BTW, love it. Very raw.

Nope, I believe you taxed me on this one.
Or, perhaps we taxed each other?

cool another chrome USA Taj on here
mines got all the stickers on & the main 3 all have daft little statements using the T_A_J initials
Todds a Jerk (i also read this was aimed at Huffman
)
Totally Awesome Jumper
and a bit of a Random one - tasty Alligator Jelly
it was made as a dirt jumping frame that was strong enough for street & vert if needed
built mine for dirt bitd hence no front brake or gyro, just a long flapping cable & cut down slams
full spec in Hoffman section of museum
my favourite BMX frame of alltime

when taj rode his signature hoffman, he rode most things. he ripped on vert, street and park as well as jumping
a kid i knew had one of them, one of the early ones in 1997.
i couldn't get on with it at all. the front end was really long, and the bottom bracket felt too low for me.
cool bikes though and i would like to ride one again
