how to tell a cro mo frame, heavy tools
animal:
Cromo is still steel so all will b magnetic ;) Borrow some scales off somebody who does fishing ;) lighter 1 should b cromo if ur theory is correct ::) Or stand on bathroom scales with each frame individually :daumenhoch:
mattuk:
pretty sure both weigh exactly same
surely someone here must have a heavy tools frame
must be one...... surely law of averages says there has to be!
has someone got an old mid nineties issue of ride they can look in to check the heavy tools advert and see if it has ad lugs on chainstays on screamer and not the freestyle
thanks

harris:
i got one outside holding the back gate open.havent a clue what model never much tried to find out but will look at serial for you.
mamadirt:
I know that a quality cromoly mtb frame will have a certain ping to it if you flick the toptube, as opposed to a duller sound from a hi ten frame. Don't think that'll help much with a thick walled heavy-ass BMX though ;D . Still, if you have two virtually identical frames it's gotta be worth a try.
