The 1" headtube frames have 10mm dropouts and some of the early 1 1/8" frames

Holmes serial numbers start HXL

Dirtbike SMD

Challenger SCP

The new repro padsets have a different font/text on them if you're fussy

What brakes would depend on wether the frame has lugs or not, DC ad990 for lugged frames, pitbull for frames without lugs

Hello Brother

I can absolutely recommend Mid-school S&M's for riding.

They are built for adults, are super stable and will last forever because of the build quality.

When I first started collecting I went straight for a Holmes 1 1/8th 10mm drop outs.

I was riding a 24" at the time and found it very easy to switch to the 20" Holmes because of it's length.

Here are some pics of when I covered it in Yellow Tape and made my own Decals.
