Cool. Black and orange, always a good combo. 8)

 :daumenhoch:

i love an orange and black colour combo too, but something just wasn't right.

i like this better, but i think it also makes it look a bit "new school" or something, apart from the tuffs...

Lovely bike.   :daumenhoch:  I don't remember much about these bikes, I must have fallen off the wagon by then.   What year is that ?

germany apparently...

Post by: BrianP on August 14, 2006, 08:02 PM

Thanks mate. ;)

I believe it's a 1999 model. There are some before and after pics in the tech & restoration section if you fancy a read.
I bought it off ebay a few years ago, then happened across a set of stickers and some orphaned hoffman dirty130 forks. all kinda came together nicely.

My Opinion:- I like the blue black combo, that orange jobby look liked someones nightmare!!! and keep the tyres on it, i ride a rear one of those and its about the best tyre i've had yet.

Cheers

That looks fantastic, you gotta love the early Hoffmans they just look wicked and that colour scheme looks just RAD, way better than the orange IMHO
