Mini ID?

[Andy68]

Another wot the feck is it/wot the feck have I bought now?!!    Still can't find a match. This is the 'Revcore stickered up' one from the other week. I couldn't figure out wot it was either but thought I'd go for it anyway as it was nearby, almost complete & looked like it could be a nice little project. Rear dropouts are mega chewed up/bent and stamped on the inside of non drive side '68301', serial number under BB but cant make it out. Feckin light too. Ukai rims, Suntour hubs, Sugino stem , Powerlite bars bla bla bla......

looking at the brake bridge and the fork drop outs...i would say a VDC manu Trident....both same as my Trident full size.

[Andy68]

[HUTCHMAN]

the only thing that's making me curious is the frame number on my Pro is on the same dropout,but on the outside,much smaller and a different font...but 5 digits,same,second an 8,same..hmmm!

[Andy68]

Oh yeah that'll be right, get me excited then burst my bubble. Cruel joke!!!!      I'm off over to the garage to see if I can make owt of the BB number.....  Has yours got the chainstay brace?

[HUTCHMAN]

nah,don't worry Andy...that's deffo VDC made..rear drops,brake bridge,fork drops...mine doesn't have the brace though(guess things can always have a varience)

Has the Voris look for sure

Mmmm
sorry for not picking this up earlier. thanks to Hutchman for the heads up.

Well mine is tucked away at the moment but for sure mine has a threaded BB not US size. Not sure on the rest. The brake bridge is the same as my Pro size.
Next time I am near the lil one I will try and get some shots.

Agree there sure would have been some variance on the theme.

Cheers

Finally found a pic of the Trident Mini.

Sorry for the delay.

This is pretty much how it left the 80's. The previous owner (he who saved from dump) put some modern grips on it and peeled the fork decals off. One day I will get around to putting some a'me Duals in Blue and White on her and maybe some new 1 1/8" rubber.

I guess that will be in a couple of years time when my Daughter is big enough for it. That reminds me, better get building that JMC MM before she outgrows it.

Hope it helps.

All the best.

Very Freeagent looking aswell, but then Voris D was part of those aswell in the early 80's.
