Sorry if I should have started a new thread for this one, but does anyone know anything or have any pics of a 'smoked' chrome Big Daddy? at least I think they are called smoked ones?? They are chrome but have a golden tint? Unless I dreamed this up, I think I know of one lurking about.

That, my little furry friend, is the Hoffman Bomber! I had a stem with him engraved on it. Wasn't around for long though...

I would assume its a 95 U.S. model. Same era as my Condor as it had the 'bomber' dude on the downtube. If it were me, I'd call it 95 1/2, last of the american ones

No stamp guarantees it as a yank..

harris · « **Reply #20 on:** September 21, 2007, 09:55 PM »

you can just see it on my taj..funny lookin little thing.

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #21 on:** September 21, 2007, 10:01 PM »

There he is!!!! cheeky little bugger....

I'm sure he used to laugh at me

I don't think he went to Taiwan though, I believe they went straight to the H*B logo over there.

very late HB warehouse made frame.
not taiwanese ...

almasterb · « **Reply #23 on:** September 21, 2007, 10:02 PM »

That's a nice one! The chrome looks good. The last of the u.s. big daddys had the shorter dropouts like this red one.

handy to no
