Title: Confused.com!!!
Post by: Jonny too talll on September 22, 2014, 01:06 PM
Ive just picked up a frame from flea bay and the seller said it was an 80s Dyno frame and forks, now Ive tracked it down as a dyno vfr but it seems a little odd that the rear drop outs are 10mm and the front drop outs are just over 12mm the frame ID is S7BY00387 and the forks are stamped up tange 95.  Now do the last two digits suggest the year? if so Im well happy with the frame but the forks are giving me some concern.

Any ideas guys

They don't sound like the correct forks for that frame!

Pics would help :daumenhoch:

By the sounds it's more likely a '97 with that serial - but don't quote me on that. They didn't make VFR's in 87, I *think* the S7B in the serial - the 7 means '97.

I will try and get some pics up as soon as I can.

My last BMX was a Firebird dellta 2 wich I sold back in 87 to fund my 50cc when I turned 16 so Im in the dark after that date really. The earliest VFR I can find was 88! When did the bigger size axels come in to being?
