I was always taught that it was a streak if it had the baseball by the serial no/

Wow....looks like you've nailed a the ultimate....Harry Leary Turbo

retrogeezer · « **Reply #4 on:** November 04, 2005, 08:00 AM »

I was wondering that...seat tube angle looks quite steep....take a pic side on and a pic of the rear dropouts from above so we can see the thickness.

Either a Leary or a senior Pro I think....

oh, and you will need a turbo stem like you just sold!

Hi...

Nice Find

I must agree, that post angle is looking steep, so I'm with the others, a HL (not that many got the black stripped though I thought) or SP. Strange as it is, I just found out this week that my brothers old Pro a Turbo and some other nice rides went to the tip a few years back

I reckon you have a good un there, so where is the pics - side on and from above.

Just to confirm about the baseball - what is the spec with it? I thought it means cr-mo, so good.

EG - Streak, Mini, Formula, Senior, Turbo alll have it. Does it change between before and after serial number though?

will do a pic later i thought it was turbo as when i polished it it had a residue of blueish grey /colour round the bb shell still on it only about 4 spots though .only bought it to get the stem for danny as it was the only way i could get him it ?lol
the frame and forksd will be for sale soon .was hoping my silver streak from orb would have been here by now but it isnt

??

Gregs got the biggest smile on his face right now coz he's just realised his frame/forks is worth £400 - £500!!

Come on Greg - How much was it?

motomagII · « **Reply #11 on:** November 04, 2005, 04:27 PM »

do these pics help .would love for someone to confirm or not for definate .i nearly sold it last night to another member for 80 quid and he said it was too much .lol

retrogeezer · « **Reply #12 on:** November 04, 2005, 04:32 PM »

I'll give you £85 for it....

It has to be a senior pro or leary T.....steep seat tube and ultra thin dropouts...sweet as that girls arse on the remote control thread (well almost!)

scary_leary · « **Reply #13 on:** November 04, 2005, 04:35 PM »

I never thought senior pro....its a turbo
looks too still have its original black headset..

Greg for fooks sake donâ€™t rub any paint offâ€¦as thatâ€™s your link to it being
a turbo.

Greentoad the baseball symbol means made in Japanâ€¦.nothing else.

A lot of turbos come with no paint onâ€¦mine included:

nice stickers on that scary
lol u sorted ure scanner yet
and well done greg if it is a leary

You lucky thing you -

I was looking at Vintage this morning and if you look at the BMX Bikes: 1982-1983 pictures of the SP and Turbo you can see the angle of the post.

You really need to get a pic of the full frame side on to see the triangles left and right of the seat post.

I don't reckon you have a SP as the triangles are nearly equal size, but from what I can see of your pic believe that you have a HL as it has the larger triangle at the Headset, and with you also having a few tell tale signs at the BB.

So who has a Turbo and Tape to hand that can measure it up.

Great find.....I'll give you £90

lazychubs · « **Reply #16 on:** November 04, 2005, 05:02 PM »
