Does anybody have any detailed pictures of the Holeshot RF-1 frame that they can post? I have looked at the pictures on AndyRuffell.com but they do not show too much detail.
I have a contact who thinks that he may have one, but I have only seen one once and cannot remember exactly what they look like. So any pictures of dropouts, tube design etc would be appreciated.

rear drop outs look a tad like a curtis i think

Not a great amount of detail, but any use?

It had a streat beat ish platform. There are some N Ruff pics on here somewhere that are from Holeshot adds that show the frame well
-
Good work Brian, I have never seen that picture before, gives some good information :daumenhoch:

:daumenhoch:
No probs mate,
The rotor tab on the headtube should be a good indication of the frame (unless they made some without!)
Would be real good to see one of these!
Good luck!
Brian.

i want one!
-
and me.
i'd be a good buyer foe one.
there was 2 models if im not wrong.
some slight changes were made.
-
Trouble is? you won't find one :( only pictures :(
-
Yep - Dordy Dave has been after one since the dawn of time...please Stidds make him happy! He's definately first in line!
Oh, and if there are two... ;)

i don't recall there being two models.... i may be wrong though....
the frame came out late 85 and Neil stopped riding mid 86, so i doubt if they would have bothered making a 2nd one.
-
i bet some money one will turn up very soon.
-
i was after one in 85....
-
but i bet i couldn't afford one if one came available anyway. the price would be through the roof.
-
trev im sure they changed the rear drop outs.

-

thats the pic I had in mind. Its been up on radbmx before. The "T" shape on the platform is clear in that pic
-

no i think it stayed the same.
-
does that mean i have to find two then? :tickedoff: finding one is hard enough...
-

I was almost in that add, I was riding at Mons ramp that day when they came to shot it. TLB put me in a Hotshot shirt and I stood on the platform with Mon and the other goons. I guess I wasnt looking impressed enough. Neil was going mental cos he wanted to be "above their heads when they're standin up!" (they were on their knees on the platform)
-
Fecking heck Dordy - where did ya get those decals from?! They are sweeeeeet. :daumenhoch:
-
they were neils dave.
i sent a lot of stuff to robert not long after neil passed away.
in return seeing as rob knew how much i looked up to neil as a rider back then.
he sent me some of his stuff.
treasured mate :).

Brilliant. What a decent chap. Fingers crossed for one turning up for ya dude - my eye's are pealed as always, if I get one it's yours.

If you look at the stickers you will see that the down tube sticker was one peice with the Holeshot logo printed twice (one for each side) but the printers bodged it and had the word holeshot the same way up so when stuck on the tube one side was upsidedown, so the ruffels had to have new stickers printed, thats why there are spare sets of stickers left, I know of a NOS frameset in a collection, but im sure he would never sell, Tim in High wycombe had one too.
-
I think the frame WAS revised.
Version 2 had a more 'Haro Sport' shape to it, the T in the platform had gone and it was a single toptube.

none of the stickers on them sheets are cut out kirk.
i supose the could have been single sided if they were seperated.
dont know as i've never seen a rf1 to check and never have seen any more of these stickers.
anybody else ever seen any to check ?.

If I recall there was a second version. There was a pic in action bike at the bottom of the page and if memory serves it was a white frame. I'll have a look on my external hard drive tomorrow and post it if I can find it.
