DP racing Delta II, top class frame set

[Flying_fox]

Wilson. The longest head tube in history.

Still got my sister's expert one in my Dads shed.

If I get a chance later I'll take a picture of it, it's got most of the DB turbo Lite components on it (after my Dad stupidly sold that frame).

[power]

i had a wilson frame with a huge headtube i broke mine at rathbone skatepark

[retrogeezer]

indeed, i thought the same till Timsley put me right.

Orb, my raw Rickman mini freestyler has what are definitley Curtis freestyler forks with it, just has the standers welded on further down - any ideas?

[retrogeezer]

oh, and my beautiful Curtis Pro (again!)

[jT Racing]

quality bikes

[sawzall]

what about saunders race frames (sre)made by a small company in poole dorset as far as i can remember frames came in red ,they were one of the first bikes i remember with radial spokes,also sjk were another small company making frames they had sealed bearing bb & headset a mate of mine anthony andrews was sponsored by them back in the day

[se]

So pleased no-one has mentioned TRM on this thread yet...
I'd forgotten about those Rebel bars though - scary! Look at that bit square set with the integrated stem. They'd make any bike look ugly. Anyone remember who was on the Rebel team apart from Steve Bigland (or was there even a team, did people just race the frames?)

Not got a scooby doo matey.

but.

Here is what i was told by Timmy M (not mallet) when i asked him a few questions (can be read here - http://www.radbmx.co.uk/index.php?pid=2 )

ORB - Can you tell me a bit about the Badlander, as I am rebuilding one and I guess you are the man to ask!!
 

Tim - Ok here we go, the MRD Badlander was designed by Neil Stevens and myself. It was the first bike to feature a 75% head angle and heavier gauge tubing than the other MRD’s, GT nicked our bent down tube idea. The bikes were made by Rickman engineering in New Milton who also made the Rickman frames but not Curtis. Our frame tubes were mitred which no other company was doing either. All tubes were 531 Reynolds and Reynolds recommend braising as a superior alternative to tig.
