I'll have a look later to see if I can find ride(uk)s review of the liberty, Jerry Galley has his frame done in stick on wood veneer!

look at them fookin angles! there all over the shop.

i rode one for a while. took a side step across from a standard for a short time as i couldn't get hold of a 20" s.t.a. so bought a liberty frame with a 20" toptube instead, fantastic street weapon and about the 'coolest' frame ever made. couldn't jump it though! not sure why but when i got back on a standard it was much easier. i'm lead to believe that there aren't many left in existance due to pretty much every london rider back in the late 90's bought them all up including the second hand ones and they rode them till death partied them. had a chat with stuart at derby in about 2003 about the resurrection of king bikes, i said if he ever did another frame i'd buy one, but then when they did arrive fraggle, one of the union guys was riding one of the first batch, though the frame seemed to be pretty awesome in construction and fraggle seemed to get on with it. i couldn't get past it looking like a federal division, so i didn't get one.

they had real basic serial numbers on the dropouts. mine was K202 if anyone ever gets hold of one. i don't think many more than that were made

sbc forever!

I don't know if y'all are still looking but I have an extra one available.  The dropouts were machined to 14mm though and there are no stickers.

Sorry about bringing up old topics but I'm trying to find a set of king forks to no avail. 

Crikey.
Title: Re: info needed kingbike co
Post by: harris on February 13, 2010, 07:30 AM
crikey have you any pics ,i have been a bit slack in the building /buying game of late but still after a liberty frame.
Title: Re: info needed kingbike co
Post by: hotdiggity on February 13, 2010, 08:03 AM
Yes, I do.  As I said the dropouts have been machined and there are no stickers but it seems like you're the sticker king so it shouldn't be a problem.

It was originally blue and it's K252.  I also have a black one with standard forks but it's at my parent's and I'm 3000 miles away.

Original hoffman gack hubs too (the rims are shot) and I think all 4 pegs are hoffman pegs. 

Needless to say I was really surprised when I found the bike.

I figured y'all would appreciate this more than bmxmuseum.

All I need are the forks, pegs, and axles  ::)
