I was thinking a TNT stem. I really wanted a paintable lengthy but the frames are so hard to come by now days. I had a green one I got from mat Jenkins back in the day. It was my Fave bike along with a chrome taj I had now I got one of each :) still need some forks if you know where any may be!!!!! I think you got em all lol

There's some 1" threaded Standard forks over at the Museum for $55 - they've had the drops opened to 14mm though - easy fix then rechrome/paint:

1" Standards are things dreams are made of.
Look forward to seeing it complete Bert as Harris's are stunning.

Love them mid-school standing platform frames.

i still have my 1" standard lengthy frame in my shed, top and downtube are cracked. i rode that bike for 10 years before it cracked, still got the receipt for it too. i have some 6 pc strip bars too but they are cut down about half inch either side.

Ten years is a good purchase I'd say. Are the bars for sale ?

just remembered i also have a set of 1" gsport prong forks with a gsport nimrod stem all in black, forks need painting though. it's a 1" threadless setup and i also have a green rear gsport hub, still smooth but needs bolts. profile crank bolts fit them though. let me know if any of this would be any use to you and i'll dig them out tomorrow and get some pics.

If bmxbert doesn't want the hub I could be interested :daumenhoch: and maybe the forks and stem depending what year they're from ;)

Sorry on my phone so messages on here are a pain. Please dig out anything you got I have loads of builds on the go. Them forks sound nice

Can I please put my name down just in case the other 2 guys pass up the forks & stem... muchos grassyass :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Woop hoo standard shorty
Post by: harris on May 13, 2012, 08:07 AM
them forks and stem is kinda hard to come by nowadays,rare yes rare expensive not so sure but nice to match up to a gsport frame also not many about.
Title: Re: Woop hoo standard shorty
Post by: john4130 on May 13, 2012, 05:56 PM
finally dug out the parts from my shed. the bars have been cut down to 24" but the chrome is still really good, i also have a dia compe tech 99 l/h lever to fit the oversize bar. i had drilled a 10mm hole in the forks to fit my reaction megabrake as i didn't like the canti brake i used to use and the stem has 2 bolts missing but i just tried bolts from a dk stem which fit so shouldn't be hard to get hold off. i also have the top part of a 1"threadless headset so you could just use parts from any 1"headset to fit it. and the gsport hub just needs bolts but i've used profile bolts in the past which fit perfectly, i'm sure their 26tpi the same as a 3/8" axle.

Pm sent fella
Them forks look like they would withstand anything !!!!!
Title: Re: Woop hoo standard shorty
Post by: bmxbert on May 13, 2012, 06:07 PM
Do them forks need to take a g sport hub?
Title: Re: Woop hoo standard shorty
Post by: john4130 on May 13, 2012, 06:17 PM
they don't need a gsport hub as i used superpros on them for a while, they have two positions for the wheel depending on how you prefered it. they are weighty beasts, i'm sure the steerer is en48 steal and the legs are t45 with 8mm thick dropouts.  :daumenhoch:
