Scored this on eBay- massive thanks to Jaymz for letting me know :daumenhoch:
Got it and it was missing a wheel, and needed a serious clean up, cleaned it up a bit, but tomorrow I'm gonna try and get some nitromors and get the chrome visible as the bits I can see look lovely. Then just gonna get some odi toadstools and a rear 990, and recoat the seat and it's finished. Although I might need to sell it as I want to get an iPad :-\
Here are the pics anyway

odyssey gyro and better pic of the bars and stem
How much would I get if I was to sell this though?
Thanks, Lucas. :daumenhoch:
-
You got it then Lucas - you're right as well I do like it :daumenhoch: , it's a corker. Custom ad lugs - nice :)
They look like S&M Castillo bars, looking at the forks, they are either KHE or Dragonfly's I think. Can you measure the steerer on the forks fella? If it's not 1 1/8" then they might be wierd KHE forks/stem combo.
Nearly forgot - the pegs look like Hoffman Hardy pegs, although there were a load of generic copies of em in the late 90's.
Eaaand I think that's a sealed Joytech rear hub?
-
S&M did 4 piece bars, Think they were Castillo bars or something, I could be confused. Is that a 10mm hub on the rear, Looks like a race wheel, Radial laced on one side and cross laced on drive side :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah it has a mint sugino cr-mo crank on it too which was pretty good :daumenhoch: yeah I don't think that it is 1 1/8", I had my doubts too, I'll measure it tomorrow when I do the rest of the work on it :daumenhoch:
And the hub is sovos or something? :) will be sad to see it go as I might have to get rid of it when it's done :(
-
And are the pegs hoffman? :daumenhoch:

Deffo Castillo's :)
You might be right Lucas - either the rears a Sovos or Joytech :)

Ah yeah, didn't see that bit ;) I need space in my room and I need the money too, will be either this, my new school or my almost complete 88 team sport, decisions ::)

Whats the serial number on the frame Lucas? It's on the bottom bracket.
There should be a letter = month (ie a= January, b=february etc), then 5 numbers - the first two = the year

GS6KWO217, from what I could see it looks like this :daumenhoch:

That's not a Standard serial number fella - you sure?
I wonder.....the seatstays/seattube junction screams Standard, that serial though looks more like a Dragonfly/Heavytools (although the seatstay/seattube junctions different to yours).....
-
you not finished that yet :)

I'll have a better look in the morning as it has paint on the serial number and my hallway is really dark :)
-
platform doesn't look like a standard-a bit too short :-\
+there is no coaster bracket-thought all shorties has them-still a nice bike :daumenhoch:
-
How much should I put this up for sale for then? :)
-
Yeah deffo still a nice bike :) Coaster-wise Gary you're right, but a load of peeps ground the feckers off in the late 90's. Platform is a tad short n'all :)
-
im not 100% from the pictures but looks like a copy
-
i have a copy here somewhere someone gave me it years ago and looks similar.
-
might be interested in the bars if you split it lucas.

Think Danny's got it spot on - another giveaway is the bridge between the seatstays - it's a small guage tube than the stays, I think Standards use the same guage tube. Looking at that serial, poss from 1996? Still a nice frame, would make a belting flatland/mini bike :)
-
cyclesports of grantham got in the crapper btd for putting standard shorty decals on the copies..tut tut
not saying it is but a few issues from the pictures plus the coaster tab ,seat stay,serial,plus the parts on it arnt what you would put on a £400+ frame.
-
It's defo not a heavy tools they had a flat plate behind the seat tube that joins the platform but I maybe wrong?

Spot on Olly - HT's had that box st/ss junction thing.
-
Looks like a Shorty copy Cyclesport sold under the Prolite brand name for a while, I think I've got the Ride mag with a review of it in somewhere, I'll look for it if I get chance :daumenhoch:
-
:) I remember them - they used to advertise it as a 'contact us' after a while.....
Found the ad for this last night - it's a Dragonfly Generix Rookie from winter '96 through 1997 - I'll pop a scan up inna tick :)
-
Here we go - nice stuff - full 4130, and you don't see too many of em around now - when I saw the old auction thought it was a Standard (although the pic was a bit sh1t ;D )
Taken from Ride Dec-Jan 96/97:

-
I like it anyway and I think I'm gonna get rid of my haro sport so I'll probably just keep this for a bit :daumenhoch:
Unless someone wants a trade for a wal or early s&m ;)
-
Anyone got any cool mid school stickers or little bits for sale for this? :daumenhoch:
-
i got a whole pile of shite here,but youd need to drive over..my legs now say no.
-
Oh so this didnt turn out to be a shorty :/ So is this Drangonfly anything to do with the German Dragonfly?

Yeah - same company Jaymz - just a real early one of theirs. Bugger me though - looked like a Shorty in the auction :)
-
the frame has very little value but the frames are bloody well made for what they are.

Indeed, both you and I were convinced. So its a dragonfly of the same origin, I might need it to go with my other two

I'm gonna get the paint off to see the chrome and then might get rid if you're interested :daumenhoch:
