Post by: SaMAlex on December 31, 2007, 10:52 AM: Apart from the real early ones, I struggle to know what slams are what. There were soooo many different shapes of them, as they got made is loads of different places at the start.
No help at all, sorry.

Post by: RyanPartridge on December 31, 2007, 03:54 PM: Yeah, they're Slam Specials.

Super think tubing for the heavy duty era around 2000 when every little part was beefed up. They didn't make em for long.

Post by: Miko on December 31, 2007, 08:25 PM: The specials are circa 99-00. There may be a copyright date on the Ambulance sticker.

Post by: RyanPartridge on January 01, 2008, 08:28 PM: Question and thread hijack-

I'm guessing by the serial number on the Challenger that it's a Challenger Pro. Does anyone know what serial numbers a Challenger XL would have?
Title: Re: Slams, what year??
Post by: harris on January 02, 2008, 09:06 AM: not sure ryan mine is a 21"tt and a fairly earlyish model 1"challenger
serial SCL 1211
Title: Re: Slams, what year??
Post by: RyanPartridge on January 02, 2008, 04:37 PM: That must be it.

SCP = S&M Challenger Pro

SCL = S&M Challenger Long

Okay, now...anyone want to sell or trade theirs? :)
Title: Re: Slams, what year??
Post by: SaMAlex on January 02, 2008, 08:34 PM: I guess Im too late to answer the question, but I have got a 1" challenger and an Oversized challenger, both nice and long, both "SCL----"
Title: Re: Slams, what year??
Post by: RyanPartridge on January 03, 2008, 04:16 AM: That's what I want Alex...

A Challenger XL, 1" threaded, no brake mounts, with gear chart sticker in red or chrome, with forks... :smitten:
Title: Re: Slams, what year??
Post by: Miko on January 03, 2008, 07:44 AM: I'll take one too...

Wow. We have a problem. :uglystupid2:
Title: Re: Slams, what year??
Post by: SaMAlex on January 03, 2008, 08:43 PM: I wanted a 1" with canti mounts. I like that the wish bone makes more sence with canti mounts, and canti mounts are so RACE. I guess I will have to make do with my 990 mounted one. I just gotta get the decals sorted!
