Title: s&m frame any ideas on which model
Post by: 333337lee on June 24, 2008, 09:18 PM
s&m frame any ideas on which model.

I'm more interested in old school bmx, but I managed to get this for £3. I'll probably be selling it once it's sandblasted & powder coated
someone grinded off the cable guide and I am not sure if there is still threads for the U brake mounts.

Im with you phil, I thought that myself. And having the shield in the gusset might make it later than a Next Gen.

I wouldnt say it was Stricker cos I think they had euro BBs. It might be a Black bike?

dont know about that  ;D

the 2000s are more my era though  :)

it was the angle of the dropouts that did it for me , quick "s&m pbr" into google and it was the same  :)

i did notice a shop still selling them for £250 , so at £3 its a bargain

Id forgoten that PBRs had a gusset top and bottom of the headtube. I think the stricker was totally the same as the PBR but it has seat stay brakes, and a euro BB.


My old PBR. I dont think it had a shield in the toptube or downtube gusset

Top tube is 20" from centre of seat tube to centre of headset tube

I can't find a serial number where are they usually located

similar to this one on ebay but mine has a standard sized bottom bracket

"i had a sta too, what a fooking frame eh? best bmx ever built?"

they shouldave come with a free can of coke as most ended up with a bit of can to cure the flaired headtube  ;D

they did get ridden into the ground though

i wouldnt give a best ever built title to something with a crimped tube though

alex are you sure it wasnt your choice of forks  :P

That one on ebay is a stricker, and the PBR was the same apart from it had a USA BB.

Looks like yours is a PBR then. It was the shield on the BB wishbone that made me think Next Gen, but the headtube gusset and dropouts are nothing like a Next Gen. My bad!  :-[  Phil was loads closer with his Stricker suggestion.



alex are you sure it wasnt your choice of forks  :P

Yeah, Im all one for trying different stuff, but those plastic forks never held up to well  ;D

found this PBR on an older post seems the same I was offered £25 in it's current state. I think I might build it up and try it unless I get a better offer
Thanks for all the info :)
