JAY · « **Reply #2 on:** April 23, 2009, 10:01 PM »

Cheers Dan,not sure what to do with it yet,one of the chainstays a bit beaten but everything else is pretty good $:-\$

Is the frame similar to this one?

JAY · « **Reply #4 on:** April 23, 2009, 10:15 PM »

No,its chrome with a big gusset,90's.....I think

fugazi · « **Reply #5 on:** April 23, 2009, 10:40 PM »

Twin toptubes or single toptube with standing platform?

JAY · « **Reply #6 on:** April 23, 2009, 10:43 PM »

Single top tube,no platform, i'll post pics tommoz

fugazi · « **Reply #7 on:** April 23, 2009, 10:55 PM »

I can't wait that long

Just curious to know what it is as I really liked DF's stuff in the 90's and always kept an eye on what was going on, but can't think of what your frame could be, I'm wondering if it's one of the low end completes they did.

JAY · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2009, 10:24 AM »

OK,just picked this thing up,had a quick look of it last night and wanted a few things off it,the rest means nothing to me as i'm pretty clueless with stuff of this age,anyway frame looks like a cheap version to me,lad reckons its a dragonfly,but god knows,Not sure on the forks now either after i've seen it propally,bars are nice,look like they have been cut down,any help on this appreciated,just want rid of most of it,keeping the cranks (not chainwheel) and stem.
Help please.......

I thought that too Dan, just the brake location isn't right for a Shorty is it??

but it's a lot like one.

harris · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2009, 10:58 AM »

you can have them anywhere the lugs , i have one that had them both

bmxbert · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2009, 10:59 AM »

heavy tools screamer with mk 2 ditch forks. i'll take the forks if you dont want them

bmxbert · « **Reply #14 on:** April 24, 2009, 11:07 AM »

actually that does look like a shorty

the screamers had chainstay nounts

the only thing that looks a bit weird to me is the distance from the bottom of the head tube to the bottom of the down tube. i would defo be interested in buying it if you sell it jay

gary4130 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 24, 2009, 11:22 AM »

dont think its a shorty 'cause there's no coaster bracket ,could be an xposure ox? or a shorty copy cyclesport use to sell ?nice to see it built up

Wayne Ryder · « **Reply #16 on:** April 24, 2009, 11:50 AM »

Adding to bmxbert's comment, the seatpost/platform was different on a Screamer. However, I think there was a frame below it that may have had a few differences, might've been Tri-Moly? Damned if I can remember its name, though.
Was it a Ruler?

not a lot really

SaMAlex · « **Reply #18 on:** April 24, 2009, 02:38 PM »

Did standard frames have that hole in the chain stay gussett behind the BB?

Those do look like Mk2 Ditchforks. The ones that I forgot to put in my S&M forks thread, cos I dont have any

fugazi · « **Reply #19 on:** April 24, 2009, 02:39 PM »

I think it's a sbc shorty copy, sold by cyclesport under the prolite name, just looking for some pics to check lug position, if it is it's full cromo, nice frame

fugazi · « **Reply #20 on:** April 24, 2009, 02:46 PM »

Just came across a test for a "Dragonfly Generix Rookie" in ride mag dec-jan 96-7 complete bike with s/s lugs etc, looks exactly like the one posted, full cromo

I think Alex should have the forks - the Oxford S&M Bikes museum needs 'em

Haha. Thanks for the thought Craig but I cant be buying anything I dont have a need for. Im all done with 1" collecting I think.
However, if you want me to look after them for you, id be happy to help

harris · « **Reply #23 on:** April 24, 2009, 03:13 PM »

how strange, i just found a set of those forks on my wall identical.

fugazi · « **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2009, 06:17 PM »

With all the is it a Standard is it a Dragonfly? I thought it was funny that the ride mag I found the bike test in has a Dragonfly advert with Mike S clearly riding a Standard Shorty!
