Title: Frame and forks Id
Post by: Pasty on September 28, 2015, 09:35 PM

Hi all, my first post, great to see so many nice bikes and great enthusiasm for them on this site!  To cut a long story short, I'm trying to restore my old bike which has been sitting around for quite a few years, the only problem is when I got the frame of a friend of a friend of a friend, 15 years ago and never knew what it was then, wasn't to bothered as it was strong with decent dropouts!  Anyway as I'm trying to restore the old bike I thought it prudent to find out what frame it is at long last.
The only rumour!!!! At the time was that it was a snafu prototype frame, but who knows? I've been out of touch with bmx for the last few years and things/bikes/parts change pretty fast.
Anyway any help with id would be greatly received, many thanks Pasty

Not a clue what that is Pasty!  ???
Looks a decent quality frame though....looks a bit like jay mirons prototype Hoffman frame but with a smaller gusset.
Hope someone can shed some light for you  :daumenhoch:

Looks familiar for some reason. That may be a Shauff (I think that's how you spell it) frame.

Spot on dannywhac and fugazi! Finally got to the bottom of that! Thanks for your knowledge,
Anyway I'm trying to build it back up, I'm having my 20 year old g-sport hub built into new rims, tidying up the primo power bites and re- using the trusty exposure ox bars, purchased of northern John in 1996 for £10, second hand then. Thanks for your help, any thoughts on powder coat colours greatly received.
