Title: King Bike Co frame ID needed please
Post by: sheffield4130 on March 11, 2013, 10:01 PM
Hi everyone,
I'd really appreciate any info on this frame I've just acquired, headtube and seattube decals both indicate that it's a King Bike Co but I'm unsure as to what model (I know it's not the Liberty). 1.1/8 headtube, american BB. Thanks in advance  :)

I think it's a king trial. One on bmxmuseum from 2004.

cheers all, thanks for that!
Although the right up for the one in the museum states that it's got a euro BB, (mine has an american BB) - is mine an earlier model?  8)

They most likely ended up being made with 2 or more bb's during the frame's life. Could be pre-production/proto? Do you know or could you trace the original owner?
Whatever bb it has, It's nice.

There's a lot of little differences in the rear triangle, maybe Some were made by another company? Either way that's a real nice solid looking thing, They don't make 'em like that anymore!
