Someone thought it might be a Diamond Back...


EBAY LINK

Rumblefish maybe??

Whatever it is, it's COOL!

Jad?

around '95 both DB and Schwinn made one's like that...is it heavy? There's weren't chromo, so they'd be heavy and have only ok welds......

Definitely an odd design. I've seen this before and can't remember for the life of me what it is.

Didn't JAD make a frame like that ?

Strange world. I was going through my mental files thinking about the old RR frame similar to that one yesterday. This isn't one of them, but does anyone remember that RR frame? I can almost picture the ad.

1st guess: It's a frame that a recumbent bike frame builder was forced to build at gunpoint.

2nd Clue: The tab on the BB for a chainguard says internal department store espionage or purchasing bicycles whilst under the influence of nose candy &/or alcohol.

3rd Thought: the word's rare , collectable , unique valuable & other buzz words do not appear in the auction description , extremely odd.

It's either a JAD or a Fabweld.

Looks the same as a black one on Aussie Ebay a couple a weeks ago. Was going for around $25.00 complete!
Would have bought it just for the unique factor except it was NSW pick up only!

reilly1: You have an incredible memory my friend. I found what you are talking about reilly1. I am going ahead and posting the cover of the issue of the BMX NEWS that I found it in(just for fun), the page that the R&R is on, and a zoom of it.

A SIDE NOTE: I'm thinking about posting whole issues of BMX NEWS on vintage. Maybe I could post like 1 per week or something like that. Does anyone think there would be a problem with that? I mean like legal issues and all that crud. Maybe I'll just post a thread asking this question.

Mike Welsh,

I would love to see this stuff, I think it is a perfect fit for VBMX.

Hijacker (?)

Back on topic...

Blows me away that they came out with a monoque frame like that in the 70s only to resurrect in the 90s as Jad, Rumblefish, etc. Truly adhead of its time that RR.

PaulyMN: lol.....sorry dude, I didn't meant to hijack! Anyway, I do recall seeing that frame you have in question. Sounds like pk ripped and others know more about it than I do. Cool frame, cool find.

defenitely NOT JAD!!! rumblefish i thought maybe, except for that tab makes it look cheap, and at 8lbs i thought the rumblefish was a racing bike...not fabweld either....CHEAP CHEAP...keeps ringing in my head...

conor

chainguard tabs = junk

What bike is over the R&R ad? Help me out Bros my vision is not all that well and I have lots of trouble reading print!

G-Flash: Above the R&R is a Webco hardtail and it was Webco's first frame. It had a single gusset. I had one of those frames and I still have pictures of that bike. The smaller pic is a Webco monoshock with the same style single gusset frame. Well heck I'll just zoom in on it for ya.

PaulyMN: I swear I'm not trying to hijack your thread bro. We are all here to share each others knowledge and have a good time and learn at the same time. I hope you don't mind me posting this zoomed in pic for G-Flash. In my opinion it's actually pretty cool how these threads can turn in different directions and lead toward other questions. Thanks for understanding Pauly. Myself, G-Flash, Reilly1, and sure others appreciate it! I promise that if one of my threads leads toward something other than the headline topic I will be ecstatic.

Thank you Bros so much for your help!

No biggy Mike Welsh, we are all pretty much Attention Deficit Disorder anyways, I totally understand!

huh?.......i forgot what we were talking about....
