I was talking to Stodgy about his Flash yesterday. He said that he has NEVER seen another one like it (or maybe it was just the bars on it, not sure) ... but they still dont make big waves. I guess there is no telling what people will want.

they are not capped on the lower crossbar.

looks good to build to me :daumenhoch:

chromes bright, stickers are there, not sure if the superforks are exact but to be fair you couldnt fault them with that frame really,

there was a set of hoffman pads on e-bay recently for peanuts,

lots of bargain primo stuff arond at the moment too!

Did anyone on here buy that MK1 Flash that was on Ebay this week?  The one with AD lugs.

Title: Re: HOFFMAN FLASH?
Post by: Dingobmxer on October 11, 2007, 08:46 PM

I had one about 5 years ago and fookin hated it!
Nice chrome but I couldnt get on with the geometry  :idiot2:
 :) DINGO :)

Post by: Stodgy on October 11, 2007, 09:09 PM

Yep. I'm a spastic for sure getting rid of my Flash...but I did promise everyone that the Hoffman tax would end and everything would go as soon as I finished my Mk1. I was true to my word.

Those Flashes look nice, but I always preferred the S&M Challenger and Standard Bicycle Moto Cross from that era.  The first DK Pros that Robbie Morales and Corey Muth rode were nice too.

I'm with you on the geometry, I had a yellow Flash XL, bought from CycleSport in 99 never got on with it.
