Title: Bolt-on frame platforms
Post by: duncan on June 14, 2006, 05:00 PM: Sometimes I think manufacturers went a little overboard in the 80's with frame platforms...

Imagine the possibilities with this one. Fronthops anyone?

Look closely at the "mechanics" on both. Gears, stem (back to front) QE2 style girders.
Brilliant.

Click here (http://www.thaimtb.com/cgi-bin/viewkatoo_pda.pl?id=24876) for some Thai Oldschool BMX. Warning, graphics intensive!

Check out the red PK Ripper kit with red Powerwings, and the red Diamond Back frame.

Also, the "PS Ripper" as shown below:

the ellusive Kuwie KZ ET, at last..... ??? hmm maybe not....

Pukka find though Dunk, shame i can't read the text :(

Post by: duncan on June 23, 2006, 11:13 PM: That might be the reissue ET model that came out a few years ago.
I did think about trying to get one at the time, but then my interest lapsed.
No idea if they are collectable like the originals.

The site is in the Thai language according to a post I read, it wasn't my find, I found the link on the vbmx site, but I don't think there's any harm in sharing an external link.

I was just reading a thread about Pashley Trials Bikes on the newschool forum, and spotted this other far more desirable machine:

Built-in beer fridge and parasol. Back hops might be difficult though..
