Post by: kev-s on October 14, 2011, 10:59 PM: they were a low end company but they were first bmx's for quite a few people, remember seein loads of em in 95-96

£55 (u will get it for £45-£50) is a good price as its has original forks bars and stem, seen frames go for £30 on there own

if he advertised it on retrobike im sure it would be snapped up

Post by: kev-s on October 14, 2011, 11:13 PM: i didnt hear anymore about em, just searched completed items on ebay and they didnt end up on there so i presume the guy still has them or they have been sold elsewhere

Looking through me Rides though they're not the OG forks to that model bike - just made me think they were SnM

Post by: kev-s on October 15, 2011, 06:06 PM: they could be ditch forks but im pretty sure ruption did copy the design, guess the only way to know is see them in the flesh

Post by: Dannywhac on October 15, 2011, 06:52 PM: Didn't Dragonfly copy the design n'all? Seem to remember a mate of mine having a pair :)
