Harris, I really like that chrome (or nickel?) big daddy. Looks like the terminator. Here's a peek at another one i'm working on.

harris · « **Reply #51 on:** August 19, 2007, 09:04 AM »

i have had a peak on v ,that looks interesting.mines running the same hubs,but with camacura rims
mine is nickel and is getting redone soon so will sparkle

gotta agree with del that one is mental, nickel like the old mongoose ?

had a tinker with mine today, fitted new inverted stem (brianp big thanks to ya) and i got another set of Q bars from the US

That looks awesome with the q bars and radial laced wheels! Did you repaint it or clean it? The white looks much brighter.

Wow! Would anyone pick that up and ship it to me (for a fee) if I were to win?

harris · « **Reply #62 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:13 PM »

if its the jap version it might not be worth the shipping cost.
unless it stays rearly rearly low,plus he wants it collected i think

almasterb · « **Reply #63 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:22 PM »

It looks like the OG frame to me, with the coaster tab below the chainstay, and that headtube decal. Looks like 2 cable guides on the downtube and the boxed gusset behind the bb. It's hard for me to see clearly though.

Lazarou · « **Reply #64 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:23 PM »

Looks like a POS to me! All the parts look crap, £800 to £1000 my arse!

harris · « **Reply #65 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:25 PM »

i have asked for a good id on the frame from him but no reply
and as laz said the parts are low\end but could possily be us frame
that and forks would be only bits worth shipping

harris · « **Reply #66 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:27 PM »

if i was fitter i would deffo ship for you
im kinda tied up with a recovery so at this
moment in time i cant rearly be of help

almasterb · « **Reply #67 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:32 PM »

That's alright, thanks anyway. Yes, the parts are crap thats for sure. I'd really want better pics of that frame before bidding, just to be sure. But if it is what I think...i'll tell you i've been looking a long while for one.

harris · « **Reply #68 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:34 PM »

have you asked him for the frame id
as if its the same as my se i would cry
and kick my own ass

almasterb · « **Reply #69 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:39 PM »

I asked him a couple questions but that was just ten minutes ago.

harris · « **Reply #70 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:40 PM »

could it not be a sugar baby frame set as the parts would ring more true as a lower end setup

almasterb · « **Reply #71 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:46 PM »

It could be? But I haven't seen a sugar baby with dropouts like that. Strange it says collect only but also 30 to post?

harris · « **Reply #72 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:49 PM »

if you get a good reply from him and if he can send to me i will get it over to you.
i can hobble quite well now.but be sure o so sure first

almasterb · « **Reply #73 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:53 PM »

Thank you Dan.

rarman1 · « **Reply #74 on:** August 22, 2007, 11:18 PM »

i saw this at the start and had a word with him,

it was collection only to start with so i suggested that 30 quid would cover postage and he could get a box from a bike shop for free
