I do own a Holmes but not one of the good ones unfortunately (for now). Couldn't give this one away on Ebay even at £200 (which surprised me)

Even the Eldest (10 years old) is getting in on the mid race game now with his latest build I hope you like it

Its funny you should mention that as tyres in general is my current priority for making era correct. Those are Cult Deharts and are definitely coming off but I'm on the look out for some new ones could do with a bit of advice as to what to look out for?

Can any of you fine people tell me what forks these are from the picture? I'm selling this and have been asked to confirm. I bought them as S&M genuine with the frame but don't know the exact type (pitch forks etc) thanks

Yep Pitchforks, earlier 1inch decals

Awesome, what forks are they?

Lpodonovan · « **Reply #58 on:** April 09, 2016, 05:07 PM »

The forks have the A logo (answer?) and appear to be carbon

Mid school race update...

Thanks to everyone on here that contributed to this post I've since been able to collect the following most of which are bikes I actually never knew existed!

1994 & 1995 Auburn CR20RX
Hyper Metro
Cyclecraft
TNT Pro
1990 & 1992 Robinson (Pro and SST)
Hawk F20 XXL
Boss Primetime
SE Racing Assasin
Powerlite P61
Kastan Pro XL (square back)

I still live in hope that I'll find an Elf Pro XL, Freeagent Limo and a Supercross SX250 this year

And following the good advice of mr (Ed) Chester I've slowly sold my old school collection to make way for these bikes that are by far better built and look 100% better IMO

and it was good advice as everyone who reads the Mid School posts knows ... old school bikes are boring as f**k

S&M's are ten a penny unless you find a really early frameset

True, but the number of S&M's built right are few and far between.

Lovely bikes s&ms but are the mid equivalent to rippers n haros, its the less known bikes that excite, your R&R is a classic example

There's loadsa cool mid stuff out there that gets overlooked n its great to see em
