Ive got a set of those, and a King chainring.

Someone local to me had a whole bike. The last time i saw him, he was riding it (and it was new). Ive no idea of he still has it.

Post by: Dannywhac on November 10, 2011, 06:05 PM: *Think* I've still got some King Pegs kicking around as well, although what state they'll be in......

I know it's not King, but always wanted to try out one of them Rigid street/ramp bikes that Nate Wessel had done for him:

Looks that way - what was The Trial? - bmx or one of them there hybrids? Spooky stopped doing bmx's around the early 2000's as well. Seem to remember still seeing King fork/stem combo's around in the early 2000's :)

Post by: fugazi on November 11, 2011, 10:13 AM: The Trial was a bmx frame, a simple no wishbone frame with a euro b/b iirc.

Post by: generallee on December 03, 2011, 09:37 PM: I remember saving up for a set of King forks, as they were touted as indestructable... Id bent a few cheapy forks and decided to go for a beefy set... sadly , after two weeks, one footplant on a fence to a flat bank landing bent the steerer... I rang the number for King and spoke to Stuart Kings mum [ !!] and as they were a cool rider owned company, they sent me a new set of forks for free and offered me a my money back too!
Oh... hang on a minute, thats not what happened. The forks did bend. I did ring the number to end up talking to Stuarts mum. But they offered me .. nothing.
Bstards. Still, it was the 90s. !!
