Anyone had one, still ride one, opions please. ;)
-
mines a 2003 scott malyon signature but ive ridden plenty of others over the years
20.6 best feeling frame ive ridden :)
very well made
looks great
anything specific you wanna know ?
-
Can thay take some abuse? IE not like the stuff thats being churned out now ???
-
oh yes :)
tough as old boots
ive only seen one crack , at the top of the right hand seatstay where it joins the wishbone
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/y165/imperry/100_0297.jpg)
headtubes plenty thick enough , so are the dropouts , all the cable options ( gyro tabs are part of the signature )
this is around 6lbs and the latest offerings arnt far off that , feels solid without being weighty
-
Nice dent :LolLolLolLol:
-
yep :(
ebay cheapness from a scot
took all the paint off it ( and filler ::) ) to find that
but the tubing is plenty thick so im not bothered
-
a great frame and defo a modern classic :daumenhoch:
tough as phook too,
the early versions were made by spooky then switched to maas industries later on,
both are equally well made,
the best of the bunch imo were the "barcode-light" versions,
the oddest was the garret byrnes signature with the fixed post,
the worst was probably the scott malyon signature with its euro bb(no offence mr perry!),
followed closely by the nate wessell signature!
all great frames though,
and after all,
T1 phucking rocks!! :daumenhoch:
-
none taken joseph , personal preference :daumenhoch:
what was specific to wessels ? all i can remember was gyro tabs and brown :-\
-
even malyon himself didnt want the euro bb and ended up riding a ruben frame ;)
the wessell had that crazy triple cable mount thing too and was like a blood-red colour,
it was garrets barcode that was brown :daumenhoch:
-
none taken joseph ,
only my old man calls me joseph when he's bollocking me :LolLolLolLol:
-
One of those fixed posts jobbies came up the other day, nos too, but a bit to gimmicky for me. Got the chance of a nos 2004 barcode in black, 20.6 tt and as i am crashing regular and the ol L.A.F is takin a beating i thought i might try something a bit more meaty :)
Joseph hahaha!!
-
man i'd love that garret t1, nos too!!! :smitten:
did you see the one ont bay muttley? the "21?
-
alll the better for me then :)
now get off that interweb and to ya blardy room your mother will have kittens if she sees the mess on your floor :knuppel2:
and as for those magazines under your bed ::)
is that the one cyclesport is selling , im sure ive seen that in the shop for over £400 :shocked:
-

dont you talk to me like that! i'm not fifteen anymore!.........
silly old sod... :LolLolLolLol:
i'm suprised no ones snapped that barcode up! i'd have it like a shot if i'd got the cash spare :'(
-
i remember seeing it hung up and thinking NICE then i looked at the tag :shocked: :shocked:
its a lot of money to hang on the wall :-\
the malyons cheaper , but still not cheap and its a 21
they have a couple shortys you might be interested in but those are around £300
now do the washng up :2funny:
-
Yeah saw that 21 but a bit too long for me. That Garret was Cyclesports, i was tempted as a really nice color but that seat post thing put me off.
-
sorry dad ;)
here the stickers you asked me about t'other week,
i'm putting them together for a t1 themed progression when i eventually find one :(
i've got the downtube stickers but i used one on my camera tripod ???
theres a certain cat on here that will sort me out with a couple though :daumenhoch:
check out the early joe,taj and robbo puppies :shocked:

-
nice
any idea how many of each signature were mad , im sure it was 50 of each size ?
-
50 of each :daumenhoch:
i was waiting but never saw a taj signature frame though :-\
joe rich's was like a drab green/dark blue fork paint job was it?
i actually really like the fixed seatpost :shocked:
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/g171/jarvicseven/9ea0_1.jpg)
very different :daumenhoch:
fook i want this frame :'(
early christmas prezzie dad? ::)
-
thought so , but its hard work findig info on t1 , i guess i could email joseph rich but im far too lazy lol
i think taj had a few alterations made to his personal rides but its a shame he never had a signature one people could buy :(
the joe was indeed that dull colour with the blue forks and i think the frameset included blue bars too , saw one go cheap on the bay but it was well ridden
i quite like the garrett too , seems to have the post where i would have it
no pocket money for you joseph :yahoo_silent:
joking aside , there probably arnt many left , especially in that condition given they had grind plates on the chainstays , have it you know you want to :daumenhoch: give them a phone and work out a price , your welcome to pop in for a cuppa when you pick it up :)

thing of beauty :smitten:
do it
to it.
tbh it'd be cool to see something different being ridden besides all these s&m clones ;)
-
Thay got one in blue too but no pic so if anyone has a pic one in blue it would help (long shot i know)
-

-
Hehe nice one, think i might be placing an order 8)
-
i doubt youl regret it :)
-
they have a couple shortys you might be interested in but those are around £300
I think Dan snapped up all of the Shortys.
-
they had some a couple weeks ago im sure :-\
-
i got first gen t1 forks on my sta, think i got them around 99

-
they have some copy shortys left i think ,stickered up with the proper decals.
so what would be the best t1 to buy as i might get one for the wall.
-
ahhh :daumenhoch:
for rarety - progresion . although you might have to enter a 2 man enter 1 man leaves scenario in a big foam pit with joseph to get one
the signatures
joe rich frameset
early barcode
but i thought you were selling up a load of stuff :P
-
i am selling alot as i have alot of doubles even triple amount of each frame.
-
my t1 is still at the welders
as he's lost one of the brake lugs :knuppel2:
hes gotta clear up so he can look for it
that would suit you ross as it's 20.5 or 20.6 tt
