Picked this up on friday, much to my delight! It came up as a random comment on a car forum I use, I kinda thought it was a frame and forks but turned out to be a whole bike. Was a 3 hour round trip to collect it, totally worth it!

Tbh I am not sure what I plan to do with it, its in nice survivor condition, but I think I will freshen it up abit. The cranks and chainring are painted stright over by the looks of things, it seems to just flake off the chrome. Maybe a colour change? But the black and chrome look is timeless I guess!

Bits I can identify are,

Standard STA Frame, 1997 I think.
Standard Bash Forks
Profile 3 Piece cranks
Profile (imperial?) chainring
Demolition Stem.
Hoffman Hubs, Alex rims.
Primo Tenderisor pedals.
No clue on the handlebars.

Chuffed to bits as I have always wanted one, since the first time around! Was cheap as chips too!

i'm not 100% sure tbh,

the drops look like the later model and the stickers say the same, i could be wrong like,
dan knows about the serial number dating maybe he can confirm,

nomad · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2009, 02:49 PM »

cool, be good to know, so i can get the right stickers once its painted

the rear drops are 10mm but have been cut to 14mm

harris · « **Reply #14 on:** November 22, 2009, 02:54 PM »

Top buy for that money, tidy it up & leave it more or less as it is

nomad · « **Reply #23 on:** November 22, 2009, 04:47 PM »

prob happy enough with the one on it tbh mate. i dont think i will change many parts on this one

Philbert · « **Reply #24 on:** November 22, 2009, 05:01 PM »

serial number not really required! joe's not far away, turn of the century that frame. 97's had top and downtube gussets and different dropouts.

could be OX, could be not!

good luck finding stickers, not that easy to find these days.
