thanks amigo...


well i just added this gem to the collection!



i haven't owned a d.b. untill now!!!!

I was very close to having my friend pick that up for me. Nice find and nice price. Jerk.

man this thing was itching at me all week. i said f'it, i'm gonna call him and see if its still available. it was so i went for it!

updated i put the decals on the 1989 dirtbike

that is a dream machine! man you sure do have good taste.

very nice can I borrow it?

sure why not bro!

Jason, now THAT is an S&M!!! Just awesome looking!

Pads would be the perfect finishing touch!

And pics of the whole bike?

I found these photos on a Japanese bmx website, under what seemed to be all the newschool bike checks. It said the cranks were Profiles but I think we all agree they're Prince Alberts.

Like the one above but 24".

Cool thread. A member here asked me to scan some S&M pics for him from FSN'/GO magazines a while back. I PM'd them to him and don't know if they ever got shared or not. I never heard a peep back from him, so maybe he didn't even get them?
I figured I could drop them in here and you'd appreciate them.
I think a lot of these are pretty hi-res, so be sure to click your magnifying glass after you click to pop-up. To see maybe who, or where, what bike, or maybe what issue (for dating purposes) right-click the image and look at the Properties. I just did that myself...to see how long ago it was that I scanned these. What a major frickin' coincidence: The day I scanned these was Oct. 16th 2005, two years TO_THE_DAY. Please don't tell me today is Mad Dog's birthday or something...it'd freak me out too much.
Enjoy.

its not mid school. but its an S&M. my new LAF. its not a LIGHT AS FOCK. its the LITTLE AS FOCK! 19" top tube. this is sean mckinneys new frame. only 8 or 10 were made. im super happy to be riding flatland on an S&M once again.

That looks like one of the original 25 Basset cruisers like mine and old skulls. That is only the third one I've seen. Was there any other info about it on the website you found it on? Like the serial number?

Nothing else. Here's the link, scroll down the main window around half way.

Interesting that one ended up in Japan.

Doug

Craig

well i wen't to Seann's house the other day and saw the "WALL O S&M" the man has quite a bit of mid school stuff.

i got another bonus check today. so lets make a deal on that F/F

lets see some more of those S&Ms! I want to see a painted Widow Maker and some more platform Dirtbikes. also who has the dirtbike decals like the ones on the above japan cruiser?....

Here's a painted Widowmaker, not mine though.

loving that ryan mmmmmmmmmmmmm

this is a couple i have been tinkering with ,but might change a few parts yet .

dan- I've been droolin' on your bikes over at raduk. Nice job! When I found clear Longnecks for my Widow I almost threw some stickers under em too, but I couldn't wait to ride it so I just put em on that night.

Now my Holmes and Widow are currently getting a make over...

cheers ryan
i am just changing the tires as they only had 2.125 comps at the time i got them.
what are you doing to yours .

i think i went a bit mad on the logos lol
dan

Mine is getting completely rebuilt. Most the parts I had on it before have been sold off. Lookin' for some early Slams...

i have some early slams,with the low x-bar..but its gonna take something VERY good to get me to part with them

Built this up last night. I had the seat laying around so it is going to be changed out along with the pedals. Cool bike to ride around but that front end does not want to come up to save my life.

Break down:

DB F&F (I have know idea what year it is)
Redline single pinch flights
MX 901 (I have a set of Pitbulls but they do not fit on the frame. The adjuster actually hits the seat post tube)
Cracked Redneck stem
STD strip bars
Clear Jive handels
Weinman rims with DX cass. hubs ( not to sure about these. Have a pair of GT 48 Mohawks)
Kenda comp 3's
No name seat post clamp and post
POS Diamondback seat

Nice. I just picked up a 95 DB frame. I kinda want to build it, but someone local wants it real bad. He has something I want pretty bad too, so we'll see.


Doug

old-skull-

Awsome Dirtbike! It's a 92 or 93. That's strange about the Pitbulls not fitting, maybe try running an old Odyssey Pozi-stop with the Pitbulls?

If it's hard pulling her up, throw some taller bars on there. Slams...

not a Widowmaker but how about a classic...

Sickening...really I feel sick. kcmo, hit me up when you'd love nothing more than to sell those forks.

Very nice. That's three of those now here on the site. Nice find!


Doug

still trying to find a holmes like clymer had..believe it was a 92/93..with the seat stays that were curved at the top,like a GT..and they were cracking like crazy.

Yea they call that the murry version, well some ppl. do.
I just got a 95 DirtBike dropped off at my house to me by the owner for $40.
It 's is going to be stripped/powdered its origional yellow and my 4th gen alberts gotta get powdered red to go on it.

YEAH BUDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a killer right there!!!

Old-skull

Hey guys. Just thought I'd toss a couple crappy pictures in the hat.


The Old Guys. '95 or '96 Holmes (very last of the threaded) and '93 Dirt Bike in Chocolate Brown.


New Purchase. '94 or '95 Holmes with later Decals. Got this guy a Pitch Fork and Green Redneck.


'94? Dirt Bike Frame with Pitch Fork and Black Redneck. Crappy Picture I know.


I just got a few Slam Bars, a Ditch Fork, and some seats among other bits, so things should be fun this winter.

Those purple Dirbikes rule.

I can't wait to see these frames everyone is scoring built up...

here it is, my new Widow. the chrome is awesome, but its missing the top tube decal. all of the other decals are pretty much perfect. the v brake is coming off and another brake is going on. havent made up my mind yet which brake i will use. i finally scored some Prince Alberts to replace the redline cranks that are on here currently. PA's need paint and will be added soon. im trying to decide on a sprocket also. any suggestions? so, brakes, sprocket and paint on the PA's and i think i will leave well anough alone. well, different tires are in order also.

P.S. anyone have a top tube decal for me? please!

It followed me home, can I keep it?

Murray style holmes.

my favorite shirt

did some shuffling today. still have 4 s&ms that aren't in those pictures

Yeah... and a few other S&M goodies!!! I wont tell!

Did anyone (including s&m) decide to produce some stickers for the earlier frames and pitchforks?

The story I heard from someone who did or still does work in the sales dept at S&M was they were going to produce them again and they were going to be handed out at Interbike then sold-this was before the S&M anniv party. All the boys from Kore Bike Ind except myself went to Interbike and I heard nothing so I don't think it came together. However the stickers that were being done may have been the re issue or old stock pitchfork stickers that were handed out at the S&M 20 yr anniv party. If I ever hear more info on this I will of course pass it on.

I'm curious about the brake setup on this bike. I see it has 990 mounts on the CS, but what brakes is it running?

Just Odyssey Pitbull 2's.

And they mount on the same way as Pitbull's?

seann, that "murray style" Holmes was the same style Holmes I had BITD with the bent seat stays at the seat tube. Is it a 92 or 93? Mine arrived from dans comp w/ the neon "Haro style" stickers. I quickly took them off. Seems to be a very rare frame, as I've seen one on e bay and now yours...I wish I never sold mine

Yes, they do. Just different at the pivots basically. Larger assemby there.

Not sure why the guy was running the pitbulls on a bike with 990 mounts, wonder if he ever thought about what those funny looking nubs were on the chainstays. They will be replaced with 990's soon as well as replacing the challenger fork with a pair of pitchforks. The challenger fork looks just like the earliest holmes fork, but with single thick dropouts. The murray holmes was one of my best friends bikes and was in perfect condition when I bought it from him BITD, I always rode his hand me downs. Was yours the yellow one that was up for sale about a year ago?

is that a threaded challenger fork???? i am need if it is.
