Post by: Stodgy on May 17, 2007, 03:18 PM
Well this one started out as a NOS Frame and Fork series, so I built it up with using pro parts from 98/99 and the key Hoffman EK bits:

Oh, and a big thank you to Dordymush for letting me rape his bike at Epic for those grips!! Thanks mate.  :daumenhoch:

Post by: Stodgy on May 17, 2007, 08:01 PM

Good point, well made.  :)

I'd just need to see if I could get the steel pedal inserts out, then that might be a go-er!
Title: Re: -- Hoffman Evel Knievel Finished --
Post by: SaMAlex on May 17, 2007, 08:09 PM
just send them for anodising .... that would get the steel inserts out. You might not be able to use them again tho.

If you do get them out, I can probably get them done blue for ya

'Use them'? I'm sorry, I'm not with you...I just rub them with a nappy every day. (extra point if you can name the film)...

The original horse wrestler himself 'Mad Pat' rode one to death on the hallowed concrete at ROM.
