Post by: harris on May 08, 2012, 05:19 PM: didnt they change the sugar baby shape as it was originaly a big daddy frame,because of kevin jones.
he designed the BD as we all know,he took a slice of everyone sold,the sugar baby was re stickered and kevin got the hump
and no money so they had to re design the mk 2 sugar baby...not 100% on that but what i heard.

Post by: fugazi on May 08, 2012, 06:39 PM: I don't know what went down after He left, I assumed the original Sugar Baby was just leftover Big Daddy frames. The front triangle of the BD lived on in the E.P. for a few years.
