Redline PL20 I think was the first popular 21" TT frame

I read somewhere, that Mongoose made a 21" frame for one of it's factory riders late 70s, early 80s. Also, SE made an over long Quad for racing downhill...

There's only one of these in the UK at the moment and that's just been sold by me.

They're a very nice good quality frame.

Freeagent Limo 21" TT and a nice ride

as andy says free agent

apparently they were among the first to push the TT out

i have a 1987 pro long (early limo, has no cross brace on the rear chain stays by the BB)
its 21" TT

centre to centre when i first got it

they all look about long enough for me to ride!

there was a way long haro on the bay recently too, i should have bagged that,

i want a frame i can properly ride without worrying about breaking something nice

could you have a custom O/S spec/geometry frame built and it still be O/S legal?

or would that be pushing it a little?

billstup · « **Reply #15 on:** September 30, 2007, 04:57 PM »

Are you thinking of having a few os races then Joe ?

no ringer's allowed Joe but also look out for the "PK Ripper XL" frames 21" TT and with a DK XXL stem, long enough to race

Have a spin on mine at Mansfield if you like?

DINGO

i'm starting to see the fun side of it dude

might have a go next year

fair enough dingo

i'll forget about the ringer, any excuse for another custom s&m eh?

love the idea of another ripper though,
would it have to be a non pitbull mount version?

I'm sure as a one off your going to be fine. Mind you they may kick up a stink if you beat them again.

Can't see me doing that again...

be trying my best though.... Robinson won't be ready by 14th but if they are gonna be 'really' strict then I could throw something together with some spare parts.... But I'd sooner race my 25th TAP..
