Heard on a props vid interview with joe rich that frames were being made at Spooky. I know what you mean its nice to hear the reasoning behind the design, its definately an evolution of the hoffman taj.
Missed out on what would appear to be a Kastan built one on ebay a while back too, gutted. They are surprisingly cheap to pick up, paid 30 quid for a barcode frame last year. Running T1 ruben bars on it, not really fashionable now but i wont be parted with them.

There is also a Garrett Byrnes model with integrated seatpost and additional support on the chainstays for grinding, due to Garrett not running pegs.

Always wanted a Taj or a 21tt Barcode. Have got a T1 frame in the loft that might come down for a play, got it from Harry Halls about 6 years ago in Manchester.

Stockport sk8park looked like 9th street a few years ago, nearly every rider rode a T1 and wore khaki pants and Little Devil shirts.

Quality read, looking forward to seeing some new product, Solid bikes are a quality manufacturer.

Thanks for posting Alex, missed that one  :daumenhoch:

My '03 Barcode has become my favourite bike I've ever owned, even against all the nostalgic feelings for the old stuff the Barcode is just a great design - and even better since Mikie off this forum tigged the AD mounts onto the seat stays, can't see me buying any other frame as this one rides perfectly.

T1 are still going, just been a bit quite for a while I think. Barcode is one of the frames I've always wanted but never had, they rock  :daumenhoch:

I'm riding a t1 ruben - 21" version mostly these days.  Dead nice, feels a little like an S&M holmes as you have to pull hard on the front end to lift it up.  My only problem with T1s is the brake position - should do em up top so you can set a small gear setup.  Me mate Tim gave me a T1 frame the other week that his mrs was sick of seeing - hehe - was thinking of making a trampoline bike out of it - its in 20.5(if anyone was to swap a 21 version for it? let me know)

ironic,
considering i've spent 6 years searching for one :LolLolLolLol:
i'm still promising myself it'll be my last ever build,


i nearly bought that white ruben in the rad shop,
just because its lovely,


tbh,
for me,

standard and s&m were the big guns,

but TERRIBLE 1 were way way cooler than either,

i was gutted to hear that the company is now owned by a taiwanese investor,

more so when taj left for giant :idiot2:


if anyone knows of a spooky built one for sale i'd still have it though :LolLolLolLol:
