I dont think the decals have anyone tricked... 38 special 22.5TT. S&M makes some nice frames.

Not mid-school, but and S&M nonetheless:
Brand new first run of the new .38 Special

There`s a crapload of S&M owners out there. This is my first. Makes me feel like I`m in some kind of club now LOL
Awesome bike bro!

i finished wrenchin' this bike up last night.
cheap build, around $275 in this total.
rides silky smooth and dialed but real heavy.
fun to cruise on and flow jump at trails but even a bunnyhop or a 180 is quite difficult on this for me.
who's all into the rust-worming from aging raw/clearcoat? i sense some character about it.

Thanks, I`m flattered!
No, not custom. Those are the new graphics for the 38 special. This one was literally right out of the powder booth when I ordered it, so it was shipped before S&M even had decals for it. I would actually like to have a set made, same design but different color. They look kinda like black/red carbon fiber. I`d prefer black and emerald green.

Jeff,
That bike looks great and would look awesome with a custom set of decals made in chrome. Check out the old Hutch Judges, white with chrome decals!

Um, careful on the polish job. They might be annoed clear. Anyone? I know they are coated, I just don't know with what.
I just sand blasted a Rennen chain ring and they were anodized black. It was difficult. Took about 10 minutes.

Great looking Dirtbikes guys! The brown is definitely cool. Didn't they the early Holmes frames come in brown as well? Thought I remember I guy from POSH here in PA getting a brown Holmes when they first came out. Bah. Whatever. Very cool nonetheless.
Just waiting on chainring bolts and I'll throw up a few pics of my Dirtbike(finally!)

The weather has begun to warm up here Michigan. So after work, I took my bikes out for pictures. Check 'em out.
Me Holmes. My main ride.

My "Feel My Leg Muscles" Dirt Bike build. Survivor with updated cranks and rear wheel. Note the early Slams.

Green Dirt Bike. More early Slams.

My Wife's Chocolate Dirt Bike. It's a combination of my mid school values and her desire for "cute" colors and comfort.

Some bits laying around.

Here's a link to the whole set.

Thanks! Just got two new pieces for an added level of detail. Got a red Salsa seat clamp and a white FSA post. I would be completely done if I could find the red John Jennings shadow conspiracy seat. (of course I`m not 100% happy with the Sun Envy rims, so I have contemplated getting some red ano pimplites)
Good luck with yours and get some pics up!
