[harris]

bang on paul     ask alex!

[rory]

well done dude , welcome to s&m,
minty stem , nice

[stuntmaster]

i used to have one years ago which was a early one with the two bit of metal that made the dropouts go together , i still to this day don`t know where that went .
any one know what stickers go on this yellow beast as it as has sm bikes on downtube in silver with dirtbike on top tube

and yep that stem is lush

[darkersomeday]

i was watching that and very tempted!

bargain there mate, nice condition

youre spot on with the slams,
profiles will totally transform it,
you could think about a nicer seat post too

i'd have put it al little earlier due to the 1"? headset, could be though as the "oversize" "1 18th frames were only just starting to appear at that time,

lovely bike though, still totally rideable today

post some more pics!

[darkersomeday]

i still to this day don`t know where that went .

its in alex's shed

Wow, nice one. How did I miss that (Im sure my Ebay search misses stuff sometimes!). Dirtbike, right? If its solid dropouts and 990 then it will be a later one and as its 1" then its pre 96ish so your 94 95 guess is a good one. Getitng forks and stem really makes it a great find. The forks look like they are in great condition. Do you have a frame number? Do you wanna say what it cos ya?

Like you say, profiles and slams and there is nothing else you'd need to do. What bars are they on it?

[Lazarou]

Are they Standard Strip bars on it?

[Steve Shindig]

Awesome find!

[stuntmaster]

cost was £150 on a buy it now and i believe bars are xposure as go over size but could be wrong , i have to get serial number up when get the chance and few pics when when not busy

[SaMAlex]

£150!!!! I would have taken that in a second! On a bad day you could pay close to that for a good stem and forks. What wheels are they on it, peregrine?

That is a top deal, nice one.

Oh, and I dont think I have got your old frame, but what colour was it? ha ha.

[darkersomeday]

actually looking at the stickers it probably is around 94/5, is it the hot-rod "dirtbike" sticker on the front of the toptube on the other side? i had one the same but it was an A-head frame,

the bars look like hoffman or dragonfly's early 4-pc,

so nice though, the dirtbikes, i think it was a landmark frame the changed bmx for the better forever, so much history in it,
the midschool haro gen1?

my number 1 ALLTIME bmx frame.

[SaMAlex]

Its hard to see on the yellow frame but it looks like there is the thin silver rub-on next gen dirtbike downtube decals on it so it probably had a new set of stickers on it at some point.

"so nice though, the dirtbikes, i think it was a landmark frame the changed bmx for the better forever, so much history in it, the midschool haro gen1?"

Things like that make me think I dont have enough dirtbike frames!

Starting from 91, I think I had 5 dirtbike frames, 3 were 1", then a Next Gen in 97, and then back to a normal (not next gen) red 1 1/8" Dirtbike. Loved them all, but the only one I still have it the first one.

the red dirtbike was the one i was on about dude,i remeber seeing that bike in ride at the time i was hunting for a 1/18th holmes , i'd still pay huge money for a mint example of that frame, the one with the cockerels on the tt, :LolLolLolLol:grail frame

the decal change would explain it,
heres the earlier decal style on a very early 1-1/8th holmes,

whats the glockenspielerels on the tt?

I gave that red 1 1/8 frame to a mate (I think I swapped it for action figures of the Hanson brothers out of the film Slapshot). I still talk to him and he still hasnt got round to building it up! Just after I got that one, I got another one from Backyard for a mate. Its built up and in my shed at the moment, compete with early A-head redneck in green. I will take some pics tomorrow.

  word filter!

they made an s&m 1-1/8th holmes with a sticker along the front of the toptube the said "HOLMES" with a big ass c o c k erel (as in the bird) next to it

the headtube stiker had a big proud looking c o c k erel on it too,

i've been searching for over 7 years for a set or the frame!

 its my number 1 grail frame.
