Title: Dirt Bros TA Replica. Updated pics and parts.
Post by: JT71 on August 21, 2008, 08:15 PM
not quite finished, needs a peregrine rear that's not built yet and some washers on the tuff.
I'm also going to bin the bar ends as per Laz's advice, I love the bar ends but love the idea of using rawl bolts more.

pics are a bit poor, it was dark and raining. hope you like it.
big thanks to Dan Harris and vic Murphy for the inspiration.

83 TA frame with curved brake bridge
tuff 2 front
hp48s peregrine rear
Gt logo tyres, 20 x 1.75
Bars i got from harris, not bully but near enough, cheers dude
Bully forks with 14mm dropouts, so if anyone has any with 10mm drop outs i'm interested
GT seat clamp
GT mallet stem
Shimano Dx pedals
Kashimax SX (i think) seat...or maybe it said RS underneath...Rs I'm sure now.
Odyssey seat post
Bulldog front brake
ACS Boa rear brake
ACs 7 levers
Jive grips, cheers to harris again
Decals by del..awesome
Wilkinsons brake cable
Spasda chain
Ody power disc, they don't call them that though think its "Torque Converter"
Sprocket pocket
some used chain ring
ody excaliber cranks
cheap headset, the only one who's race would fit the forks
ody dynatron BB

feckin perfect - one my most favourite bike ever. when I was still riding in the 90's and bmx was right up the swanny - the Dirt Bros TA was gping strong - the perfect mish mash of a bike made up of parts that were available at the time. Well done Joe!

can't remember what the sticker says, they might be Sunn ones...Dan Harris would know.

they'll do until i find my holy grail Bully Bars.

No doubt for Sunn, with the triple S logo, very nice shaped bars tough. And well in place before you get the good ones

lost the bar ends, put a peregrine on the back, changed the rear brake to a Boa.

that'll do for now.....

Awesome set up!!
Me an Tim both rode these BITD altho they werent official 'Dirt Bros' we both thought the whole dirt bros attitude to BMX was cool seeing as the asshole had dropped out of the industry so simply got hold of TA frames an put better forks on em, his was yellow with chrome bully forks on it an mine was chrome with original GT Performer forks (also chrome).
Tim's had the tuff on the rear tho (green one) with an ACS RL up front whilst mine had Super Pro 48's front an back.
Fookin loved that bike wish i never sold it!!!!
Had it dialled with everything Chrome or Black..
Wish i had a pic of it so i could post it!!
Ah well the memory will have to suffice.

Post by: noddybeard on December 08, 2008, 06:45 PM
B.T.W we both had the 'Havok Sprocket Pocket' of course!!!!
Running 38/39 tooth Chainrings to protect our chains even more...

cheers chaps, the Dirt Bros now has the Bully Bars up front (big thanks to Big "Longun" Steve) I'll get it out and get some new pics soon, and I'm
def gonna find a suitable step or grind box to put that sprocket pocket to use.
