(The?) 3 types of S&M Slam bars

[kev-s]

ive aquired another set of slam bars

now these look very similar to my 93 dancing man slams and my 98 slams but the dancing man slams and 98 slams stem knurling is cross hatched where these are just straight lines

any idea what year they are?

[thecaptain]

you sure they're slams?

[kev-s]

pretty sure as after measuring them against my other 2 sets of slams they are exactly the same apart from the knurling,  i bought them off ebay from a guy in crowshurst so i would have thought he would know his s&m stuff

also they have sticker residue on both sides on the back of the bars which makes me think they could be slam dunk slams

[thecaptain]

my dunkin slams have crossed knurling,and all my other S&M bars have crossed knurling. best off emailing S&Malex

Hey, Ive got a load of old S&M bits but I have NO idea about what year different knurling patterns was used on slam bars   

[firebird4130]

they were mine, The guy I originally got them off said they were 95 , I have encountered different knurling on slams before but not this version. it was earlier ones but I guess that means it happens? I would have thought the welding would be worse quality if they were not s&m or that they;d be heavier or something. I've got another set too (cut down)and compared them, they're exactly the same apart from the knurling

cheers fraz i didnt realise i bought them off u on ebay

95 would be perfect as they are now sitting on my 1995 gt fueler build

[firebird4130]

nice  I think it's just an oddity that knurling. I have had quite a few s&m parts that vary from the norm, frames with badly welded lugs pitchforks with different crown lengths etc

[kev-s]

i know what u mean ive had a few frames with dodgy ad mounts, dodgy engraving etc

[thecaptain]

haha, ive got a set of pre pitchforks that have one fork leg welded higher up on the steerer than the other

A couple sets found their way to me, both sets have different knurling patterns yet they are the exact same size:
