Ok, forgive me for being very very dumb here :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ but they are spitting images of JMC's. Were they produced after the JMC by the same company  and if so are they more affordable.???????????? Cause man i'm liking them both  big style. :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

That is sweet.  There was a fella who came down to Braintree a few time to race who had one.  He sold it a while back, I would have had it if I had the cash at the time. They are lovely looking bikes :daumenhoch:

mines moved on abit since that pic just a couple of silly bits to sort now
1/2 link for the chain
a brake cable

and on mine the forks seem to be a tad oversized on the outside
and under bore on inside
as fitting a stem was a norman nightmare
and then the starnut would noot bind and grip
so i need a stem lock thing that passes right though the lot
Title: Re: azusa 24"
Post by: perry on June 22, 2008, 08:59 PM
cool , would love a pic

mine needs

spokes
stem
32 hole front hub
rear 36 hole rim
cranks or a ring for my middleburns
chain
bars
cable
tyres
grips
lever
 ;D

my bikes share a fsa conix

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx'modelID=66

which ive had for 8 years now , just need a 6mm . no hammering like those star nuts and not as heavy as a full stem lock ( plus the ones ive seen can only be fitted with the wheel out

Post by: stuntmaster on June 22, 2008, 09:00 PM

Fantastic looking bikes, JMC AP tribute type thing, I remember Graham bringing his 20" to the track in Hartlepool years back, very nice :daumenhoch:

Was it this frame sets that caused all the stink i.e.  Supercross/Mexico? or something along those lines...

Post by: lazychubs on June 22, 2008, 09:13 PM
wheels are db ones that pete gave me
serial no is abc24013
and the colour is spose to be db turbo black
but is more sage green
and cant wait to have a roll round a track or street on it
but bars are horrid and no brakes lol
Title: Re: azusa 24"
Post by: perry on June 22, 2008, 09:20 PM
diamond back eh  :shocked:

mines abc24026

magna . mine cost a bit under £300 from tim off the bay . but only 25 were made ( another 25 in 20" ) but its actually 27 as there were 2 prototypes ( hence mine being number 26 . so its a matter of keeping an eye on who has the few in the uk and waiting for them to come up for sale ( i dont plan on ever selling mine ) or trying for one in the us

anyone know how much they were new ?
Title: Re: azusa 24"

Title: Re: azusa 24"
Post by: perry on June 22, 2008, 09:30 PM

i thought about gold wheels for mine but its a cost thing  :( so ill just polish up some atomlabs for a nice retro look  :)
Title: Re: azusa 24"

Nice looking bikes (I nearly bought one at the time).  A tad heavier than a new school cruiser, but still feel nice to ride.  Tim Gregory raced his for quite a few seasons on the regional and national circuit.
