Amber Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Amber they look like original 70's choppers ? if they are then *drool*lolyeah they are the first one is made up of mk1 and mk2 bits so its a bit of a hybrid (the orange one) dads mate found a mk1 and mk2 in a skip and gave them to us to restore but the mk1 frame was shot to pieces so we made one up out of both of them I think the hub is 1972and I wanted another one for christmas a couple of years ago so the yellow one we got for £80 off ebay. this one is 1975 it looked like this when we got it home:then we restored it.dads friend also found a budgie (mini chopper) in the skip which looks like this:we've now restored it back to the same colour -just gotta get decals for it. I really want another chopper but theres no room for any more!I'll buy a bike rack for the loop and bring the yellow one to the summer shows once I've passed my test.

foxy Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Foxy, that Kona is sweet! That is the same frame as the Shred isn't it? Why did you sell the Specialized so soon?Yes i think the frame is the same, they change the group depending on the model, top model is the Cowen, i believe that has a different frame.I sold the Specialized because i decided i wasnt into bikes anymore......how wrong i was, really regret selling it.

They are weldless frames (Tubes glued together) and ultra light compared to modern bikes.Was looking to do a single speed track bike, although sold it recently to fund my new found Tamiya fetish.I was trying to figure out why the lines looked so smooth the glued frame explains it all I need a track bike for my commute really its a bit more sensible than my current bike but not really senssible because it still has no gears out of interest what was the name of that frame i'll have to make a note of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
