Those of us that want them have already got our names on the list.
But don't let that discourage you from pointing things out though. We might have missed out on something.

Cool!
LOL....
I posted some info about this elsewhere, but I lisst some info here too....
The "25th Anniversary" original framesets, using all original 4130 CrMo True Temper tubing that was cut and formed in the 80's, will be welded up within the next few weeks. The first frameset was welded up Christmastime by Greg Esser (ABA Hall-Of-Famer, 1st NBL national #1 Pro, MCS Founder, Factory GT, Factory Skyway racer) then sent to Skyway for QC. Skyway approved it this past week, so we are now in the process of getting all of the tubing shipped from California to Florida, where Greg will weld them up!

I have a pretty massive email list of people that wanted a frameset, but I know that some people will drop off that list. I'll start emailing people in a couple of weeks, and it will be then that we'll start taking official orders for these.
We will be making 150 framesets, as it appears there's only enough material to make that many.
As far as the "Retro" frames- We are planning on making 20" and 24" Retro T/A's much later this year. Once we get everything sorted out, and we're ready to take orders, we will make enough to fill ALL orders that are made during our pre-order time period.
These frames will feature all-new material. These will have V-brake mounts, and 1-1/8" headtubes, as all modern race bikes do. It'll have tear-drop shapped tubing on the top and down tubes. It will be 100% Made in the USA, as well.
I'll post more soon! Cheers!

Come on guys he is a relative newcmomer and he was being helpful. :daumenhoch:
Can I have some more info on the 24" retro. Put my name down for one of those!!!!!!

I have no info yet on the retro 20's or 24's. I do know that the cruiser will be roomy though~! I'm thinking a 22.5" top tube on that one..... maybe even 23"...... we'll see. Maybe 2 size cruisers....
Dunno yet...!

Not bothered about the retro stuff but I'm just gagging to give you my deposit for the original tubed model. :LolLolLolLol:

Greg Esser made the first S&M Prince Albert cranks. I met him when he hand delivered the first 50 to S&M. We took him to the POW House (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=56608.0), I dont know how impressed he was with "Pro" BMXers of the time. When he walked in, Lawan said "Greg Esser, I read about you in the scriptures"
Btw, those first 50 cranks were all rejected and sent back, but that’s another story.
