My finished S&M Mad Dog

[SaMAlex]

Since the show and shine is all over, and this bike was totally overlooked, I might as well post up some pics of it.

I was looking for one of these frames for a long time and got one (with much help from some of the RAD guys) on ebay last year. I kinda sat on it for ages till a set of forks came up (thanks again Rory). At first it was going to be built using mostly stuff from my shed but as the build went on, it got nicer and nicer so I had to get new stuff and clean up things I already had (I have NEVER cleaned a set of tuffs or tyres before, and I wont do it again!).

Im pretty happy with out its come out but I might change a few parts on it. I only wish I wasn’t so totally knackered by the end of MK weekend cos I wanted to take it for a spin on the track.

Frame: S&M Mad Dog (1989ish)
Forks: First S&M forks, (aka Mad Dog)
Bars: Itsons (VDCs … no Hutch … no VDC ….)
Wheels: Skyway Tuff II ally hub
Tyres: Comp III
Cranks: GT Power Series
Stem: DK Square back
Post: Elf Zipback
Seat: GT
Clamp: GT
Pedals: Tripple trap
Chainring: PPP
Power Disk: GT (that I got from Moeller in 1991)
Brake: Putbull / DC 182
Grips: Jive

that's a beauty and probably one of the rarest bikes around!!!

[kev-s]

very nice lovin the white padset ive never seen em in white 

[JT71]

that is a beauty indeed. is it rare?

is Generallee building one too?

i only ask cos he had one of those seats off me, and a pitbull and he's looking for 9/16" Triple traps.

coincidence? mmmmmmmmmmmm.

anyway, that's a wicked build Alex, now onto the frame Ray gave you.

Ive not seen one at all since the early 90s, and apart from a few of the VBMX guys I dont know of anyone who has one.

The first pads were white

[kev-s]

ahh thats prob why ive never seen em before they are really nice

[rory]

[Miko]

Umm...  are you kidding me?  This bike is so ridiculous!  It's like 1989 Moeller time traveled to 2008 and forgot to take his bike back with him.



I'm all types of jealous.  Nice bike, Alex.

[THIRSTYKIRSTY]

Wow.

Alex, congrats on that bike. Turned out great!

[JT71]

why was it 3 days late though Alex?

or couldn't you fit anymore in the car at the weekend? 

two HAF frames to lug your petrol bill must have been massive. 

(ps any chance of some close ups and spec run down on your HAF  )

[Bigplinky]

Alex that bike is awesome   . The bike is really understated in it's looks which is probably why it was missed at the weekend but I think it's great that's how I had my bikes in the early 90's black and chrome with no scary colours. TOP build

Good luck with that!

3 days late? It was at MK, just got drowned out by all the cracking bikes there.

(ps any chance of some close ups and spec run down on your HAF  )

Check in the Museum, I think I put a parts list on my HAF in there

ah, i saw it. there...didn't realise it was the same one. what a complete spanner.

sorry. I saw the Mad Dog eying up his signature frame. wooooooooooooooooooooof. that was the same bike.

to be honest i didn't get a smuch time as i'd have liked to look at the show n shine bikes, i was too busy being the next Biagio. 

 

[JT71]

I even had it in my photobucket off me mates camera.
(I think he was really trying to get pics of Steve's bikes, think he was a bit star struck. lol. lol. )

how hard are they to source

[bmxmatt1974]

when someone did a rolecall for them on VBMX they got two frames and one complete.

one of those frames is the frame we see here today, I think.

I have been looking hard for about 3 years, and kept my eyes open for ages before that. I have seen 2 up for sale, both on USA Ebay. One was a very early one with the strange double brake bridge, the other was this one.

before this one, Ive not seen one in the flesh for more than 15 years

better not count me chickens then

if you put "s&m mad dog" into one of these ebay early warning systems you'll get an email when one if posted for sale. you might get some notifications of some dodgy DVDs too, which in my opinion, is all good.

[generallee]
