yeah it looks like a villian

mine (93 or 94 model) didn't have u-brake mounts and the fork's dropouts looked differnt. also the weld's didn't look as nice.
what's diameter is the seatpost? should be a uncommon size. mine was a 26.6mm.

i'm not quite sure, if hooligan frames were 100% 4130, because that's what it looks like to me.

BUT ... there were rumors that villain frames were nothing but a standard frame out of a taiwanese parts catalog.
could be a cheap knock-off.

were are the only pics i have :

the mounted forks didn't come with the bike.

edit :

sorry about the typos. it's 4:00am over here ...

my first thought was hooligan, then i remembered the hooligan being at least tri-moly. and either had 990s before 98 (at least i think). it does look like a villian just....in 97 or 98 i think the villains had 990s, but i thought the those years (for hooli's and villi's) had 14mm axle slots.

so it could be.....

maybe SC on the dropouts might mean scorpion cycles?... if it had "h"s on the dropouts id say it was a huffy 1/4 ton, with better welds.

Thnx guys. Jo, the diameter from the seatpost 26.6mm - A friend form me has the same without u-brake mounts, we say it is a "Mongoose"

@Supergoose:
Danke, mit einer antwort von dir habe ich gerechnet Die Sattelstange hat 26.6mm, auf der Sattelkleme steht sogar 28.6mm. Denke für 10 Euro past das schon

echt? müsste man sich kennen? ich hatte netmal realisiert, dass du aus dtl bist.
ich würde ja nochmal nach meiner seriennummer sehen, aber der rahmen steht bei meinen eltern (ca 350km weg).
wenn's bis nächste woche zeit hat, kann ich dann nochmal genauere fotos machen. hi-ten sticker ist allerdings schon lange weg und sah bei mir komplett anders aus.

Hehe, nein denke nicht das wir uns kennen, es sei denn du bist von 1981 - 1992 aktiv gefahren und wir kennen uns von Wettbewerben oder Sessions her.

Hatte nur mit einer Antwort von dir gerechnet wegen dem Namen Und bei meiner suche hier nach Villain oft von dir was gepostet wurde und ich die Bilder auch schon von dir auf arcor.de gesehen habe

Von den DropOuts her würde ich auch sagen das es ein Villain ist, Jahrgang ist relativ egal, ich habe den Hobel nun Fertig gemacht, es fehlten Felgen und Griffe bei dem 10 Euro kauf. Um damit zur Tanke zu fahren reicht das
