Title: Another oddball Jamis laser 2001
Post by: chubby on February 12, 2016, 11:09 PM
Stumbled across one of these on gurgle about 18months back. Kept a beady eye out ever since. This popped up in that funny US of A place just before Xmas so happy Christmas to me 😁😁

Wow that is odd, but very cool  :coolsmiley:

Please do a build thread. This will be an unusual build and I think most of us will enjoy it   :daumenhoch:

I love that. It looks like a Vincent got knocked up off a later Haro master after pulling a Mrs Robinson on him!
I can't wait to see this finished.

Really dig the pinky one but not sure about the black on the frames, I reckon it hides the design too much. Still unsure on colour, got Liberace's CW taking up all my spare time at the mo so an appearance at MK is out the window this year

Go Black/Pink not many bikes get done in this colour way.
My CW No-Ped is the black/pink version they also did a yellow/orange version which is unusual but might suit that frame

looks like a haro master with the rear dropouts welded on upside down. i've got some bmx plus mags with the advertisement for it and i'm sure they did another which looked a bit like a trickstar. i'll dig them out and get them scanned.

Thats a bit bonkers!  I wouldn't know what to do with those extra platforms - more options for hurting myself I guess.

How's the build coming along?

It's sort of stalled at the moment Chris, got other stuff causing grief & mk round the corner. Gonna be next  winters fiddle I reckon, will give me time to make a plan  :whistle:

had a look through some old bmx plus mags to try and find some old advertisements for them and realized the one i was thinking about was actually a VISAGE. i did find a some though.

Thanks John they're all mint. First laser is the fast times & is a bit more common than the 2001, really quite like the style of them ads  but safely say mine definitely won't be dialled in  :LolLolLolLol:
Another little odd gem in the background of the visage ad & who wouldn't love a weird bike !!!
Trm race bike on the cards then ???

i do like the look of the visage bikes even though their blatant rip-offs but with a twist. my trm won't be a race bike, just a good old freestyler with as many standing platforms i can shoehorn into it.  so if you have any spare handlebars with extra tubes welded on let me know. ;D

Just remembered Clint has a visage, might have some funky bars spare too, I've got bugger all I'm afraid  :teef:

He has yeah. A little digging turns up the fact that woody had links with direct link which probably explains the drops  :)
