Title: S&M Holmes Mk2 Murray stay.
Post by: nosepickben on April 12, 2016, 10:30 PM
1992 survivor frame and pitchforks, decals left on from when I bought it. I don't think they're og as the stickers on the forks should be on the toptube.
All survivor/used parts, in varying conditions, just a fresh chain and tyres.
Wheels are JP precision hubs on sunn city lites,
180mm GT Profiles with Redline 44t & Shimano DX pedals,
Epoch headset, VG stem, S&M T4 race bars,
Tech 77, pozi-stop clamp, pitbull with VG boomerang,
Redline post and SanMarco Rolls seat.

Thanks Ed, i just can't bear to use any other grips than my beloved power paws. I'm going to have a trial swap of stems just for you, i have another Holmes with a redneck on, the VG would be ok on that, i think.

And you're right about haros being w4nk.

If you know and love those grips then I take it back ... 'the love' is what matters  :angel:

deffo try the redneck tho... IMO there's no other stem to rock on a Scott & Mad Dog  fistblump

Yeah but I think mine has reissue decals fitted

Betty should be able to confirm this as this was how it was when I bought it from him

Updated with Redneck stem. Not sure whether to leave this stem on or go back to the VG one. I like both to be honest! The redneck gives a lower bar height, noticeably different, so I popped a spacer in.

It is possible with the stickers that the owner just didn't like the face decal. i don't mind the rest of the stickers but can't stand that face!

Looks better with the Redneck... fookin love it in fact.  :smitten:

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I changed the headtube sticker. I don't like the face either!

Yep, it was the style of the time, lower your seat post and point it up. More space to move the bike mid-air but still comfy when kicking back. It feels fine to sit on.

Looks better with the Redneck IMO  :daumenhoch:

But if you go back to the VG, I could really do with that red Redneck  :whistle:
