Bargain Joe! Nice one mate...very pleased for you - can't wait to see the final build.

May be interested in the wheelset depending on condition.

no probs dude, will do, it wont be much considering what the bike went for, ;)

they look in pretty good nick actually,






i'm torn between army green and baby blue for it,

i'd imagined a fine blend of dingo's s&m nw and my standard 125?

or should i go for the original army geen for toughness?

heres the stickers i've got for it *non ng c)ck ht sticker though

Joe

If you're cutting the forks loose I may be interested in them, again dependent on price and condition.

Just need a set of cheap 1 1/8'' forks.

well here it is, after 8 years or so of waiting i finally got one,

HXL5642

the chainstay has a few "issues" but nothing drastic,

the only major flaw in my plan is that the seat post tube is for a 22.2mm old school size post, it makes me wonder if the frame is a bit too early for the stickers i'd got for it,
but fook it, i'm going to indulge myself and do it anyway, its not like its a fooking faberge egg or a gen 1 haro so......

thanks to monsignor harris for the enduro, just look at that badboy, shits like a chin jutting out, with the proudc0ck on the headtube it should make for a fook off stance,
pitchforks are here for it too,

needs slam bar specials next :smitten: but again, i only have the regular slam stickers, fook it eh??

any idea's for the colour?

OK, this is just my thoughts, nothing more.

I dont like the stem. That frame was one of the first over sized S&Ms so why not use a nice sharp edge redneck?
The bars are heavy ones. The frame is a nice lightish race frame (sort of). Id go with normal slams.

However .... I love using those frame decals on the forks. Ive not seen that before, I might do it myself sometime.


Talking of green S&Ms, have you seen they are now doing the new dirtbike in green. Just when you thought it could look no better!

i've never had or seen one so thought it would make a change, i do prefer the redneck and will be keeping my eyes peeled for one, gutted i sold the green one :'(

that green dirtbike looks soo sweet :smitten:
