Do you know what year it is fella? The majority of the Venoms in the 90's were chromolly maintubes only. They're fairly strong - but won't take any heavy street/park bashing for long. Seem to remember they came in at sub £250, ideal starter bikes in the mid 90's. Also seem to remember the components they came with were fairly middle of the road as well :)

Then again, not every bikes a Standard/S&M etc - if you like it, build it :)

Mid 90's i think , Had a Dyno  VFR back in the day seen a couple of frames i like but they seem to be race or dirt frames not sure if its frowned upon to stick tuff 2's on stuff like that and use it as a rider but it worked in the 90's  :-\

Build it how you want it fella  :daumenhoch: It's not frowned upon to stick mags on owt from the mid 90's. It was common place from the early to mid 90's to see mags/ front mag-rear spoked set-ups, I nearly wanged a mag on the front of the S&M 1990 Holmes I've got :)

Hang on a tick and I'll scan a Ride for a Venom review :)

Well stuck the Tuff 2's on the frame and put the sr stem , crank and bars on off my burner  :idiot2: for now don't look too bad. Going to stick some tech77 levers , decent calipers on so i can ride it then start replacing the Burner bits

Not to most peoples standard but that my venture back into BMX lol
