So nice, so so nice. I dont like chrome bikes, you have just reminded me why!!

"Race bike"? Are you going to race it? Sounds good to me, (although it really does look to good to use!)

yes stodge, i agree

looking forward to seeing it finished,
all the parts look spot on for it except the "dirty harry" lever, she needs a tech 99/77

i bid on a set of holmes stickers from the usa awhile ago, i think i dropped out at £42!

good luck finding a set, i'll keep my eyes open,

has anyone repopped them yet?

As with all S&M decals (IMO) The originals were the best, John's face on the headtube says class to me!

A shop near me has black widow and twisted pedals in stock. and tech99 levers. Let me know if you want me to get some for you.

I also might have a pitbull if you cant get one from Biagio

I'm loving all the S&M's on here recently, and that one is another beauty!

It's a shame the forks have peg bosses on them as it's set up as a race bike. That's in no way a pop at it, just my personal taste. :10_2_12:

Can't wait to see it finished. Keep us posted.

dan, i think its a 93

no way!!! when i was there in october 1993 i thought the new stickers were crap, i suggested we sticker some black frames up with only this holmes 'penis' sticker on the toptube, i dubbed it the 'hardcore holmes' and if i remember there were only about 25 or 30 of them and Taj had one of those

Grant,

Now you know where my HC Holmes frame went! It looks much better now, ay! I was way tempted to keep it when you told me the story.

That looks sooooo good. Love it!

Post by: SaMAlex on April 18, 2007, 03:11 PM
The only things I would say are:

Change the forks from Ditch, to Pitch.
Change the seat clamp to a pozistop and take the flexi hanger off the pitbull.

Other than that its just to put a sprocket pocket on it so you can hit the streets as well as the jumps.
