Post by: thebigdog on January 15, 2008, 06:45 PM: I am shocked by that bombshell. The welds on it were really good and the tubes have a nice ping to them. I know the wheels are naf but some of the other stuff was high end spec.

Thanks for the ID :daumenhoch:

Post by: mi16kie on January 15, 2008, 06:49 PM: Looks like it could be a "Heavey tools" frame.They were a division of KHE i think.Cant remember the model name at the moment though.

Post by: thebigdog on January 15, 2008, 06:57 PM: If it was a Heavy Tools would it have had a Cartoony Hammer on the decals. My mate said it used to have a smallish sticker with a hammer on it and something written underneath.

Cheers

I had a look on their website and I couldn't see any. Doesn't mean anything though. :D
