TOP MAN JOE
that looks fantastic and gonna be a nice ride .

[darkersomeday]

i need to slow down!

the tt is a kneecap shattering "18.5 

wont be riding this one eh?!!

full nos build? primo powerbites?  V-monters maybe?

definitely black everything though

[SaMAlex]

So is that a sabbath and a warpig you go now?? They are a great pair to have ... use them as bookends.

There was a set of graveyard bars on Ebay not so long ago. They would be great for a McKinney build!

[OrgasmDonor]

coolio as foookio liking that lots

[generallee]

Joe, is that the one from cyclesport? If not then they have NOs frame in their shop!

[scooby74]

that is soooo sweet, what a monster 

[SaMAlex]

I dont really know much about the sabbath frame. Was it that the later sabbath frames that didnt have a standing platform or was it the Sabbath "lite" that didnt have a platform? (or both?).

[gary4130]

very tasty that mate  can't wait to see it built up. don't forget kneepads if you ride it though 

[neckbrace]

That's gonna be nice.
I just built up a "Sabbath lite" out of a load of old bits. Frame No. SL27. I'm not sure of the year but it has an 18.5"tt and platform. I'll have to borrow a camera and learn to post pics.

[neckbrace]

Hope these work, they're not the best pics and the bikes not realy up to the useuall standards on here but a decent front wheel seat and post and she'll be a nasty rider.

I like that a lot and i quite like it with the yellow forks and bars

That "Sabbath lite" looks nice. Do you know what the diference between the Sabbath and the Sabbath "lite" (other than weight) were?

[darkersomeday]

i've been working on trying to pin this down,

from what i can gather so far, the "sabbath lite" was the same as the platformed "sabbath" but with a lighter gauge tubeset,
the one i picked up last week on the bay is a "sabbath lite" i'll post up the serial number when it comes back from the coaters, it is surprisingly quite light!

this nos black one is a straight "sabbath" but without a platform and way heavier,

liking the blue one btw!

fancy having a pop at these tt beauties del?? complicated or what?

[neckbrace]

How heavey is the black one? 
The frame on the blue one is 7lb 2oz, not too bad considering it's size/beefyness.
