So is that a sabbath and a warpig you go now?? They are a great pair to have ... use them as bookends.

There was a set of graveyard bars on Ebay not so long ago. They would be great for a McKinney build!

I dont really know much about the sabbath frame. Was it that the later sabbath frames that didnt have a standing platform or was it the Sabbath "lite" that didnt have a platform? (or both?).

That's gonna be nice.
I just built up a "Sabbath lite" out of a load of old bits. Frame No. SL27. I'm not sure of the year but it has an 18.5"tt and platform. I'll have to borrow a camera and learn to post pics.

That "Sabbath lite" looks nice. Do you know what the diference between the Sabbath and the Sabbath "lite" (other than weight) were?

i've been working on trying to pin this down,

from what i can gather so far, the "sabbath lite" was the same as the platformed "sabbath" but with a lighter gauge tubeset,
the one i picked up last week on the bay is a "sabbath lite" i'll post up the serial number when it comes back from the coaters, it is surprisingly quite light! :LolLolLolLol:

this nos black one is a straight "sabbath" but without a platform and way heavier,

liking the blue one btw!

fancy having a pop at these tt beauties del?? complicated or what? :LolLolLolLol:

How heavey is the black one? 
The frame on the blue one is 7lb 2oz, not too bad considering it's size/beefyness.
