Would love to have 1 of my og bikes! So cool and great freshen up gra
Thanks Olly. So lucky to have found it again and if it was t for Dan Simon in Canada who found Bert Thomas had it in Essex I'd have never got it back.
Was half tempted to retire after getting this and the Condor back, but you know what the bug is like.

Im building this as a rider, the SE Hoffman's are more a collection than day to day bikes.

He wanted to build a catalog correct bike I've had mk 1 graveyard bars and trust me se patriots are possibly some of the hardest bars to find and exchange hands for stupid money and I mean stupid! I'm not getting at you, I love a rider spec build I've built loads but I do like a catalog build, I built a 92 condor and it's hard work way harder then a rider build hence why I like thisall those odyssey parts were common off the self or order from any bike shop, vpx pedals-£12(slippy) and the cr-mo/opc-£15(weak) we all had them bitd! the Z-77seat was also very popular and loads of my mates had them to, so there must be still quite a lot floating around? as compared to rare flatland parts being that f/land was not popular, compared to street/dirt and ramp which was in the mass majority ;) the *mk-2* graveyards were the first to be imported to the uk by customriders in 95/6, the OG/BAR-TI/BAR and a year later the JESSY-P bar 8) the mk-1s never made it out of the US because they were made in such small numbers, once they became popular they had to find a bigger manufacturer! to keep up with global demand and the mk2s were born:) :) :) :)

Like a giant jigsaw, but you have to find and buy the pieces.

I've got 5 of these. 3 SE, 1 RR and 1 Tai so can do a rider build on any of them.i would make the Taiwan one a rider as its not worth as much, as the US made ones and I top-tump your VPXs with peregrine "sliver" bars :daumenhoch: there really hard to find and if you do there usually trashed, but they do look very nice and ride like wise 8) also a static freecoaster with the "standard bykes 24tpi axel", plus the"graveyard-12tooth driver"upgrade, finishing with a "static 1 into 2 splitter" custom gyro cable gadget >:D not the copy primo one either....now that's a challenge of a build :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2:

Great bike and great story dude,

Thanks man. The 93 Condor is a similar story, except I sold that late 90's and found it again in 201( 2 miles down the road. So lucky to have both of them back.
