at long last i've found my dream frame,
this fooker is going to be a right build!!
no holds barred and hideously expensive,
anyone want any of the parts off it?

Bargain Joe! Nice one mate...very pleased for you - can't wait to see the final build.
May be interested in the wheelset depending on condition.

Joe
If you're cutting the forks loose I may be interested in them, again dependent on price and condition.
Just need a set of cheap 1 1/8'' forks.

yes mate, i've got some nos pitchs for it,
i'll hit you up when it lands :daumenhoch:
-
interested in the wheels mate :)
-
well here it is, after 8 years or so of waiting i finally got one,
HXL5642
the chainstay has a few "issues" but nothing drastic,
the only major flaw in my plan is that the seat post tube is for a 22.2mm old school size post, it makes me wonder if the frame is a bit too early for the stickers i'd got for it,
but fook it, i'm going to indulge myself and do it anyway, its not like its a fooking faberge egg or a gen 1 haro so......
thanks to monsignor harris for the enduro, just look at that badboy, shits like a chin jutting out, with the proudc0ck on the headtube it should make for a fook off stance,
pitchforks are here for it too,
needs slam bar specials next :smitten: but again, i only have the regular slam stickers, fook it eh??
any idea's for the colour?

army olive green :-\

OK, this is just my thoughts, nothing more.
I dont like the stem. That frame was one of the first over sized S&Ms so why not use a nice sharp edge redneck?
The bars are heavy ones. The frame is a nice lightish race frame (sort of). Id go with normal slams.
However .... I love using those frame decals on the forks. Ive not seen that before, I might do it myself sometime.
Talking of green S&Ms, have you seen they are now doing the new dirtbike in green. Just when you thought it could look no better!

its an ugly fooking stem eh? thing has a chin!
i've never had or seen one so thought it would make a change, i do prefer the redneck and will be keeping my eyes peeled for one, gutted i sold the green one :'(
that green dirtbike looks soo sweet :smitten:
