Major score that Joe

It's unique so you've gotta do it as a Taj replica, cos there is only one of those frames and there is only one Taj Mihelich.

Very happy for you!

That's a great story - what value that frame has just in that. I can understand the stoke!

I love that "to all the bikes i've loved before" blog. Its really really cool.

It looks like before and after that ti frame, Taj was using T1, S&M and Odyssey forks. I guess they could be one of those??

gobshite · « **Reply #32 on:** September 24, 2009, 03:54 PM »

thats a good reference point, never thought of doing that

a guy on bikeguide reckons he remembers the bikecheck taj did and that theyre definitely S&M race forks,

oh bugger $:-\$

theyre not going to be easy to find methinks

got the primo TAJ grips in the post today so at least its a start

and a snazzy new MACRO lens

just itching for the frame to arrive now.....

Dingobmxer · « **Reply #33 on:** September 24, 2009, 06:56 PM »

Joe are these the S&M race forks?

DINGO

this thread is great
this is what collecting and bmx is about getting something and building it as you like and it meaning summat to you .
getting expensive frame and throwing cash at the parts trying to get the best /most expensive build isnt what its all about this is
