-
I think Iv got a pic of him on a Haro Bashgaurd somewhere.
-
i'm sure he rode for bully!
i read it in ride
in fact in the latest ride
-
i think he rode a bully over here in the uk ,but didnt no he rode for them new info :daumenhoch:
-
aha
well he rode one anyway
just wanna do something decent with my bully bashguard frame and FORKS!!!! yes got the forks
it's either a hoffman rep or an alex leech rep. but al's bike was so individual i don't think i could do it justice. maybe i should just give it to him :)
si tabron also rode one though. and larry bull, iirc
-
i want a bully basher as well ,ive not started looking yet but one day i will get onto it.

Thats a very kind thought, thanks. My Bully had ACS RL Edge 48s and matching tyres (although I changed to Peregrine hubs cos the ACS ones were crap). Redline/Sugino 400s, Shimano DXs, GT Malet stem, Haro Knee savers, a pit bull and a Boa. It was all just run of the mill stuff at the time but I bet it'd be a nightmare to build now!

how cool is that alex? you've got someone wanting to build a replica of one of your bikes.... that's gotta be the ultimate compliment. :daumenhoch:

I think that Green Machine down in Devon had a couple of Bully frames NOS when I was down there last summer cant remember if they were bashguard models.
Might be worth a shout.

I think green machine only have/had the later, non bash ones. Still worth cheking tho.

I sat last night and started to type out the parts that were on my Bully. It didnt take long and when I had finished I had to to pause and think how sad/cool it is to be able to real off the parts on a bike that I rode for a year, 17 years ago!!!!

Too right its cool! Very flattering. Its just a shame to pick the Bully! The worst of my ex bikes, including the Ultra Burner!! ha ha
-
is there not a pic of him riding a bully in "ride of my life"?
-
I'm trying for the Alex Leech replica haircut.....

You'll just need some tubes of super glue to stick the ends.
I still have the dreads at home somewhere. You can just borrow them.

Get hold of a copy of 'Slow Ride', the Bully Video and make a replica of the Bullys that the Dirt Bros / Vic Murphy rode. I think that most of them used the early non bash ones (the ones just like the bash ones ... but without, not like the pistons). Or, talking Bully team riders, how about a Domingues replica? You would have to find some super high white converse boots to go with it!

nice bully......how much?

thanks, it's been well ridden without a bashguard, but would be fixable, going by some of the work that's been done by you guys in here.
i've absolutely no idea how much tho, to be honest, but it would be cool to see it get fixed up!

Nice Bully? Thats a bit of an Oxymoron?
They did have the best of the bash guard designs, its just a shame that almost every other part of the frame was so bad.
-
cool fame not the best but i still like to see them restored price any idea

Who ever sorts out a deal on that frame, come see me cos Ive got some forks to match. Similar condition, and with Canti mounts brazed on. I cant see them being worth that much.

go for it boys ,i will step back as im just greedy :LolLolLolLol:

I was kinda looking for an early Bully bash frame a while ago cos I was thinking about getting all my old bikes again. (Ive now thought better cos I am already a wash with frames). They dont come up that often but I cant see them going for all that much. As always, it comes down to how much someone wants to pay, but I def wasnt going to pay very much.
-
go for it boys ,i will step back as im just greedy :LolLolLolLol:
:LolLolLolLol: (hey while i'm here, were those sbc stickers any good?)
(Mr Spacefruit is that you in that pic?)
And no, I ain't looking very much for it - Help me fund some powdercoating fees and I'll be happy. And I'll give you the NOS "RL Inc" toptube stickers I got off the bay for it too.

Hmmm Bully bashguard frames eh.... seem to remember my downtube totally snapping in half just behind that little gussett. Piece of sh*te if I remember right(just my opinion though) ;)
-
the decals are just about to go on ,i put 2 on, then got distracted.
:-* i will send some decal fund money over ;)

Say what you think Dave! ha ha.
Mine cracked where the double top tube bit isnt actually attached to the back of the single top tube (just with a plate that almost meets it). Also the dop outs were bad, and in the end, the headtube ripped right off.
-
LOL, with all the good reviews on this frame, ur gonna make me end up wanting to give this away to get it outta my collection! ;D
(no worries dan, just let us see the finished article all stickered up. ;))

Just finished reading Ride of my life, cant remember any reference to BULLY, had a quick flick through the pictures and did not see anything.
Lending the bokk to RATTY, so will tell him to keep a look out.
-
i read in ride that he rode for bully
but then i also read that blyther invented the tailwhip in 1982.
so they aint always on the ball fact wise
my bully frame has been extensively rewelded where the seat stays meet the toptube. they were a really shit design!! piss weak
i have an invert magazine from 1990 with larry bull and si tabron testing it. i think they were both bully riders
hey if we only wanted frames that were strong and well designed then that rules out quite a lot of bikes!
-
i read in ride that he rode for bully
Was that in the new ride where its talking about those new Bully pedals? It says that loads of people used to ride for Bully, including Craig Campbell and Jay Mirron, but no mention of Hoffman.
-
Maybe people are confusing it with his bashguard Master.

Well they all ended up in the same bin! :LolLolLolLol:

They all ended up in a monstrous stash under one of his vert ramps! Has anyone else seen it?
