Post by: thesku11s on January 02, 2008, 02:42 PM: i had one of those, sold it last summer.

They have a "dirtbike" sticker with chunky thrasher magazine lettering on the top tube near the headtube, about 6 inch long - black with red outline.

on the down tube they have this weird really thin line lettering "saying s&m bikes" in silver

But do you notice the silver thin lettering one on the down tube?

Post by: SaMAlex on January 02, 2008, 08:32 PM: The THRASHER sticker and the silver downtube text was the first set of decals for the NEXT GEN dirtbike in 1997. That yellow 1" dirtbike must have had new stickers put on it.

Dan, the frame you got there was pretty much unchanged for several years and went through loads of decal sets. The frame number does suggest its one of the later 1"frames, maybe 95ish
