Something a bit different, TFS Response prototype, designed in Florida and fabricated by Yess in Canada

Yowzer, that's a low slung. What's the story behind that buy?

...post a pic with the seat dropped

Bren,
I got it off a friend who is friends with TFS's owner, he now rides a production model one, slammed seat pic will come when I have cut the spare seatpost down (not chopping the Thomson lol)

That's why I bought this, rode the 2024 test bike and loved it

Thought I had better get a picture up of my S&M 38 special, the first BMX I have bought since 1992.

The brake lever has been replaced since the pictures with a DXR and swapped over onto the right side.

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #433 on:** December 22, 2013, 10:39 PM »

Why put the lever on the wrong side?

Nice cruiser buddy, they ride real nice

colinc · « **Reply #434 on:** December 22, 2013, 10:59 PM »

I bought the S&M from 1 of my friends and I ride right hand rear brake, that's why I had to swap the lever.

Very nice bikes.

Have just sat down with a cuppa to have a browse through the whole of this thread. The tea's gone cold but there was 7 years worth of bikes to look at! Really interesting to see the vast array of rides out there, and how everyone's constantly chopping and changing, replacing and upgrading, just like we all did bitd.

Well seeing as you bumped it, might aswell add in one of the current race bikes.
Hoping it works, and sorry about the poor quality pic.

have a fair few padsets that get used or are going to be used.

Mikku · « **Reply #443 on:** December 19, 2016, 09:48 AM »

Now THAT's got my attention!! Would love me a Curtis!!

Good old Ripper

For sale

Mikku · « **Reply #445 on:** January 08, 2017, 12:16 AM »

Nice-looking bike that! Needs to go in the Museum section! Likewise the Curtis before it

Drawn · « **Reply #446 on:** January 08, 2017, 06:41 AM »

its a bit too new for the museum section though haha.
might have to take a few pics over the upcoming week of racing with the changes from each event (enjoy trying to upset the commentators, like the event where it was a different jersey colour each moto for a giggle)

That SE looks very nice, really do like the clean design of it. Just a simple, clean cut BMX image.

When the cruiser is back up and running (getting a part machined) will have to take a few pics.
especially seeing it will be retired from main racing duties with another frame almost on its way that will create a matching pair

Don't worry about that! Today's bikes will be tomorrow's museum pieces, figuratively-speaking, so you may as well get it in there now!

Actually, whilst I'm thinking about it, I noticed that you're using a padset on yours. I don't see them being used nowadays - is it no longer a requirement and therefore just personal preference?

Agreed!!

Need to know more about this!!

Drawn · « **Reply #448 on:** January 09, 2017, 12:55 AM »

I just run a padset for giggles. its not a requirement anymore, but I find it a bit of fun and a bit different.
long term plan is to try to have enough of them to have a different one each event for the year.
an upcoming event is 6 races over 9 days (and a charity event in the middle to make it 7), I have 6 different padsets at the moment and more than 6 jerseys, so plan on changing it up to try to mess with the commentators (who mind you, dish it out in return

) as, especially after Christmas so many people have new gear, so they don't know who is who yet.

I should explain, I enjoy trying to bring back an older school look to the bike or some of the riding styles that you don't see as often now.

As for the new frame. all the parts are sitting there, only pinching the wheels off the current cruiser, and then lets just say, it'll almost be a matching pair of Reynolds goodness

Seeing as though it's now actually seen some race action, here's my addition to the thread - a 2011 Crupi Pro XL custom build - made in the USA, bought in Hong Kong, and raced by a Brit in Japan!
