why did they name it that?
did Mike Buff use a frame that had a front triangle like that?

oh sick..never saw that before..thanks Strike.

Glad I could help, I think that was a prototype. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will be able to clear up the details lol.

i believe Woody said he and Buff each had one and both broke.

anybody else have any pics of this bike more in detail or anyone have the breakdown of the parts ? or anyone have woodys pots mod build pics

Julio,

I have everything you need....Call me and I will forward it to you.

Take Care,

***BUMP***

Sorry, had to do it. Love this Trick Star prototype. Buff was the Man, where is he/what is he doing now?

2004 Kappa Starsky with "Buff" gusset:

Dude, what to sell that frame? I would make you a great offer. LMK.

Sorry I no longer own the frame.

Wow am I bummed! Got back from riding with my son today and was cleaning my bike ('04 Kappa Starsky) and saw the underside of the downtube has a huge crack right where my Buff gusset is welded to the downtube. And I don't abuse the frame. Almost stictly flatland and not very often anymore. Definitely no jumps. Some small park riding...dropping in, rolling out, carving, smooth low-to-no impact stuff like that.

So bummed.

Hey Matt, are you sure it is not just the powdercoat? Scott's powdercoater put that stuff on pretty thick. That happened on a frame of mine, saw a crack and then stripped the powder down to the metal and all was good.

I thought about that because I could see all kinds of "stress cracks" in the powder shortly after I started riding it. It really looks deep, but you may be right. I just don't know how to check it without messing up the finish. I hate to do that and then need to repowder it to fix THAT. Any ideas?

If you have an idea, just post it and I'll get to it in a week or two. Heading out to the beach tomorrow for a bit.
