Title: Mr Magoo's Hyper Metro
Post by: CustardLips on December 06, 2013, 01:31 PM
Picked this up last week from Bof. He told me a few Radsers have owned it. So been wondering who's had it and to see if anyone can give me any info on the head tube sticker (pretty sure it's not OG). Gonna stay as is for the time being but thinking about eventually getting it re-powdered and wouldn't mind getting the same stickers made up.  :daumenhoch:
Think it looks cool as fook with Mr Magoo up front.  8)

Who the fook's Mr Magoo apart from an animated old pensioner with eyesight difficulties.   :LolLolLolLol:
Your trans purple one sounds nice Andy. Not stripped it yet but Bof reckons this used to be purple too.
Wanna swap ?   :D

 Hello...
 That well may have been my old one..I remember whoever I sold it to thought the purple was a bit too much and stripped it..Shame..If it was mine, it was Dingo's and before that possibly Mattdub's ..Definitely a bit of a Rad trail there..
 There's a pic of when I had it here:
http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/hyper_bike_company/30096
 I think I may have the serial number too, so I'll dig it out..
 That may well be chrome under all the paint (if you strip it go slowly and you might be lucky!!)
 I've got some OG Decals around somewhere too, I was saving for another one (I'd love to get a 24", but they're kinda rare..)so give me a shout if you get going on it.
 As said before..They ride really well, enjoy.

Post by: CustardLips on December 11, 2013, 03:02 PM
Thanks for the info. No chrome under this one I'm afraid but never mind. nic your old purple one's a belter it's a shame it got stripped.  :( I'm definitely interested in your set of stickers if your not gonna have any use for em'.  I'll give you a shout once xmas is out way pal. :daumenhoch:

Pretty sure Del does these decals as well if you are still looking for some. Strange that there is no chrome under yours. Unless it was originally black, all their other colours were trans colours over chrome. As has been said before, they are great bikes.

Stripped it down last week as it goes and there are traces of purple inside the bb. Someone must have had the chrome/purple stripped off and had it coated. Don't think it's powder though, seems like some kind of plastic type coating. Was gonna just rebuild as is but thinking a fresh powder job and new stickers is in order. Didn't think Del did 90's decals.
Black with purple stickers and a few purple bits maybe.  ???

The blue was a true "candy" with trans blue over chrome. Done the same way as their purple which was trans purple over chrome. It looks awesome in the flesh so definitely gets my vote. Cant stand the rubbish candy you get where its just metallic blue paint though.  :LolLolLolLol:

Get it done.  :daumenhoch:

Metro's were definitely trans blue over chrome. They also did 2 versions, the candy (bright blue) and a deep blue as well. Later on when production went to Taiwan the candy blue was just a metallic blue paint, but the frames were rebranded as Hornets not Metro's. The Hornets were only sold in Pro size not XL.  :daumenhoch:

Dan's always in the frame when it comes to a nice paint job but was always going black for what's gonna be a rider and know a kid round here who'da painted it for next to nowt.  ;)
Anyway come to a couple of decisions over what's staying, what's going and what's coming in and if it all pans out I think it'll be getting some treatment.   :daumenhoch:

nice hyper, tho tan walls would show the bikes lines off better.  Blackies (IMO) tend to make a bike look heavier/bulkier and hypers have awesome lines for a mid racing frame  :)

It's been in bits for a while now this bike but I've got my hands on a few tidy bits for it so it seems a re-build is in order. Just got a wheelset to put together then I'll get some fresh pics up.  :daumenhoch:

Frame no. on this is 100467. Anyone know how to date these ?
Title: Re: Mr Magoo's Hyper Metro
Post by: midschooljon on February 19, 2017, 02:55 PM
Not sure if the serials give much away, but they only made 1 inch Metros with no canti mounts in 93/94. On the museum some people have listed Metro's as early as 90 and 91 but that isn't accurate. In early 93 Eric carter had to use a GT frame because the Metro's weren't even in production yet. I think its pretty safe to say yours is a 93 or a 94 as there was no change between the two years.

I have read all the info on the museum about em and did think it'd be 93 at the earliest. What's your frame no. Jon ? Just wondering if they're closely related like. ???

The one I've got here is 100451, and my old Purple one was 100398 I think...So they're in the same zone.

Possibly 1003.. is 93 and 1004.. is 94?

Is yours an XL Jon?

Yes its an XL. Just tried to have another look at the serial and its 7773**. I cant see the last 2 digits as they are covered by the axle nut. Will need to loosen that off to read the full number.
