I have the BMX Plus with the bike check in it. I don't have a scanner, but if you would like pics just let me know.

That would be awesome! Even if you just take some snaps with your phone that would be good.  :daumenhoch:

Phil just sent me this snap of the frame with the chainstay all sorted out.  :smitten:

Looks like he has done an awesome job on it, and its now on its way to Dan for the paint.

Are you sure that is the same frame in the mag? The frame Jon owns has an unusual brake hanger on the seat stay. It's a flat piece of metal that's bent in to shape to hold the cable. It's the only frame I have seen like this. All the others have a tubular hanger that arches from one side to the other.

I believe it's a 'transition' frame, between the 94 calliper frame and the tubular hanger design. The later frames went on to brakes at the chain stay and 1 1/8".

Super cool frame, either way :daumenhoch:

Yes you are right. This frame is a transition frame which is basically a MK1 HFD with canti mounts welded on to it. The batch after mine is the one featured in the mag which have different SS bridges, and cable hangers. They did a 3rd version of 1" HFD's that also had a Standard Byke Co style gusset added to the head tube as well. All were simply sold as regular 1" HFD's in their press and catalogues, and all featured the same decals. Even the 1" clamp on fork version was marketed as the same bike. I think the first model change they talk about is the 1 1/8th version which had the "karate man" decals on, and was considered a "new" version.

I like the fact they constantly made changes to the bikes with every production run. It makes the brand and the bikes a lot more interesting.  :daumenhoch:

Bars arrived yesterday and Im really pleased with them. Mint condition and uncut.  :smitten: They are however HEAVY! Honestly feels like they are made out of pig iron.  :LolLolLolLol:

Will hopefully get the frame back from paint next week and can start build up.
