Post by: steve on November 27, 2006, 11:50 AM: Its good to see your stuff mr reiley

ps , is teh reason why the majority of bmx frames have holes in the rear drops, due to sissy bar fitment?
-ie even a jmc has a hole

-ie some have no holes at all?
:LolLolLolLol:

-cool frame

Erm ok, i thought it was meant to attach to the rear of the seat with the loop above like a back rest?? Same as on chopper bikes, but obviously not ???

Post by: reilley1 on November 27, 2006, 06:05 PM: It was a BMX saddle. The sissy bar would get in the way sometimes if it stuck out like a conventional sissy bar attachment.

The seat has two clamps under the seat in which the loop of the bar is attached to.

The very early frames with the small loop and hole on the dropout were meant for a sissy bar. Anything like a JMC or more modern was more of a design thing as long seat were out of style
