Posted this in midschool but didn't get a reply so I'll try my luck here

Anybody tell me the year from this (PK0008)? or is there a seperate date stamp somewhere on them (it's a Pitbull model)



Cheers

Andy

Needle in a haystack, Andy. I've seen so many conflicting facts all i can tell you is it's 90-95 although i've only seen proof of mass produced Bulldog frames from 92 and they changed to inch and an 8th in 94 but they did both head set types for a while so it could be later.  ??? :idiot2:

Bigplinky:
Thanks Bob forgot to add it's 1" headset.

hi, the XL i used to have, had brake cable lugs on the down-tube (most models have them on the top-tube),and a hole for a brake behind the back wheel.  Serial no. PK3060. Apparently, these are quite rare; from what I can find out, we're talking 1989 (but don't quote me on that!).  Also, the rarest XL is the one with the straight tubes on the chain-stay.
Hope that is of some help. Can you post a picture of the full frame?
Cheers Russ

The non-loop PK with straight chainstay would be a 85-86 model with a 19.5 " top tube
Way before the XL PK which was introduced in the early nineties (20.5 or 21")
