they are pretty tidy. just not mint they still have a survivor decal of a little blue devil holding a bomb....
im just being fussy really but the taj has sentimental value to me more than any of my other builds.....
i had one when i was younger and we went through alot...i know where it is still but its got a good home and lives with my pal....

Nice - I do like that version of the Taj, looks a lot neater than the US made one.

Sweet as Bert.

theres an interesting timeline with the taj too, i like that about it,

when taj and joe started t1 the frame design transferred over to the barcode frame,

i know most dont agree with me but i put the t1 barcode in the top 10 bmx frames of all time,

hoffman continued the design over to the deebo frame but it jus wasnt the same, i had one for a while and it still remains the worst frame i've ever owned, it was such a pig that i swore i'd never buy another hoffman, and i havent, to this day :LolLolLolLol:

a pic of a pic i'm afraid but heres yours truly on a taiwan blue taj, abubaca. what a frame i had to sell it to cover going to koc one year and go back on the standard lengthy i couldn't shift in time.

i really do wish i'd had the chrome ramp room one tim at sideways cycles had as the taiwan one had 14mm drops and was a bitch to sort with super pros rekka came to the rescue however.

i need a scanner

sorry
