Unkown f+f
« on: October 17, 2009, 04:15 PM »
Bought this today cheep for  a few of the parts and just wondered if the frame and forks were anything worth hanging onto as well. It has what looks like a reversed 'C' in the frame number but could be a mis stamp. Ive read a few articles about those.

Heres some pics of dropouts, and gusset just in case anyone recognizes it.

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

Schwinn I reckon or maybe a Quicksilver, leaning towards Schwinn though.  Serial number looks more likely to be a dodgy 0 rather than a reversed C  ;).

The backwards C was an Akisu trait.  :daumenhoch:

It's a "KHS - Duster 200" I bought a complete survivor one off Jai "SE-BMXER" at MK this year as i wanted the wheels & tyres and caliper off it -

sold the frame & forks and bits to Jonathon "NORTY40" for a tenner as he said the kids could use it  :LolLolLolLol:

I'll get him to post a piccy up of his - but that's deffo what it is - looks like you may still have the original KHS fork decals on there ?

Jongoose is right , it's a KHS Duster   :daumenhoch:  Fine piece of engineering (not) and very rare  ;D  :LolLolLolLol:  

I will sort some pics out as soon as I can  :daumenhoch:  

The dropouts /gusset are the same and if I am not mistaken without pulling the F/F out of the garage the rear brake bridge is like a box section  :-\ ???  Think mine was badged as a KHS Duster 300  :D

Yep, cheers! ;)

You guys are right on the mark, KHS decals on the forks, box brake bridge, and the bloody weight of it!

What would one do with such an f+f now though, is it worth restoring, selling, or dare I say on this site, scrapping?  :LolLolLolLol:
