Title: Let the fun begin, updated - 29/1/11
Post by: sid1972 on September 16, 2010, 08:54 PM: Hi peeps,

did a bit of wheeling and dealing with youngy to obtain this frame, I am sucker for all things sad (the frame not youngy ;D).
Someone had welded a later brake bridge to the rear forks :shocked:

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ii368/sid1972/Forsaleitems0071.jpg)

The welds were extremely well done so I had my fingers crossed that the damage caused by this was only minor..

Stuck a new disk in the old grinder and went for it...

You have no chance mate :( When I was after some a while back I was at Johns and casually slipped a set under my Jumper only to get caught by the real life mongeese he has patrolling the grounds of mongoose HQ :D

Nice work removing the brake mod mate :daumenhoch:

That "03" on the brake bridge........

3 x 84 frames with it stamped
1 x 85 frames with it stamped
1 x 86 frame with NO stamp

Snav as for your cali's not being stamped mate - you may not have spotted it because on all of mine bar the 85 the stamping is on the underside of the plate ;)

As for what it means........

???

Joff - those 2 guards mate - had to let one of them go......

Post by: sid1972 on October 16, 2010, 06:35 PM: ::) I keep changing my mind between black and white mate, I just think black will look cool with loads of little white bits, like the: cali pads,pro neck and seat clamp etc.

I have some tange pinch forks coming for it, in chrome - I reckon I may leave them that way with chrome bars to match :-\
