Think it's a Sugarbaby but the early ones were just Big Daddys with different decals!!!....I had seen that bike and thought it was a good deal.
Nice one!  :coolsmiley:

I'd say it's a 97' bud...the later Sugarbaby lost the gusset...the Big Daddy was dropped around that time too.

Post by: ED209 on October 30, 2010, 07:05 AM

Does that mean its cromoly or trimoly? ( have I got that right? I'm thinking trimoly is the steel / cro mo mix )

Hopefully it will be with me on Wednesday for my Burfday  :angel:

It'll be full 4130 chromoly that bud, Taiwan made.  The frame number might even begin BD.... that being B-ig D-adddy. 
Title: Re: Saw Hoffman and pressed buy it ...
Post by: condor96 on November 02, 2010, 04:22 AM

Title: Re: Saw Hoffman and pressed buy it ...
Post by: ED209 on November 04, 2010, 11:44 PM
Bike arrived today... wrapped in a blanket and cover in cellotape...  ::)

Frame is in great condition but I was pretty pi$$ed of as the previous owner has cut the bars down stupidly short ( IMO ) and now I'm gonna have to get some more... thats the kind of thing you should mention really... duh.

With a good clean and a couple of part swaps the rest will be sweet though - same length as my GT so should make the switch ok  8)
