1997 Hoffman TAJ

My 97 Big Daddy converted to 1 1/8 with custom made decals.

Nice bike man, I like the crank and bars, extra thick.




Who made the decals for you? I have a 95 big daddy that needs decals.

A guy on the museum who goes by the user name beast44k

ramp room

Only one of mine is together, but I am working on the rest. 1998 condor, 1997 condor, 1995 big daddy, and the bar collection. Someday I will add an american made condor and maybe a first gen condor.

dan,
i think you miss labled your big daddies, all of them are ramp room ones except for the last one. thats a s.e. made one

Here's a teaser pic of my unfinished Big Daddy. Could be complete this year. Maybe?

i seriously cant wait to see that one, it makes me froth at the mouth......

im so glad i gave you the heads up on those forks, they definatly belong on that bd

Man I miss those forks lol. I cany wait to see what you have done with it.

Jay, I haven't done much to the bike lately.

That's cool condor96,
I didn't know those video's could be found on Google.

Let's see more Hoffmans! Any early Condors out there?

my green one is se made and also is the niclel plated one
the serials are inside the rear dropout se only did this

there are 3 ways(beyond the decals) you can tell a s.e. big daddy from a ramp room big daddy. se made big daddies had 3/16" rear dropouts,2 cable guides and the coaster brake tab the chainstays instead of the seatstays.
ramp room bds had the serial number on the left dropout that starts with a B4xxxx. B=big daddy, 4=1994. like my production run ramp room condor serial C40008. 94 was the only year of the 94-mid 96 ramp room hoffmans to have a serial.

here is a pic of a s.e. big daddy


and the serial on my 94 condor

might as well put my current hoffmans up

my 94 condor proto

my other 94 condor (i was in the middle of doing a resto on it but i broke my other bike so im currently riding it)

my last gen ramp room condor and some ramp room loves. this one is almost done.

i have a set of these hella hard to find early gack hubs that will go on it. i got chrome hoops but i need to get some decals made for them.

and this bomber stem is going on it

a fun pic

my early superforks. this is going on my 94 condor when it gets done.




try to get the rest on here....

and a big thanks to chad herrington for these awesome pieces.
the blue print for the superfork stem

and a davin "psycho" halford drawn pencil sketch of a concept condor logo.


this 92 condor will be in my hands very shortly just waiting on a check that should be here friday to finish paying it off. i cant wait!


oh and my mid 96 condor i recently broke

damn some of this bikes are beastly

I still have an nos superfork for sale in chrome 1 1/8 if someone is in need, letting it go cheap!

have a nos hoffman padset (black/red) if anyone interested

This is my 98? Hoffman EP. I got it last month from a guy in CA who hardly rode it. Everything was in mint condition except the original High Roller wheels, they had some serious flaking, so I had them re-chromed (thoses aren't them in the pics) I also had the decals re-done, except the head-tube one. They originally came with the red ones and I always liked the blue ones so I went with blue. They came out really nice I think. All the parts I added. All nos. I would really like to find the original 4pc. bars, so if anyone has a pair for sale let me know. Thanks!

Another pic...




One more...

Need more Taj's in here.... and preferably possibly for sale

If anyone has any mint/NOS Hoffman bars they want to sell/trade let me know! I'd love to find the 4pc. ones that came on the Ep.

I think I saw that bike on the bmxmuseum site. That was the exact bike I dreamed of around 95-96 when it came out. Everyone I knew was either getting S&M's or HB's. I was currently swapping back between a Haro and Giant. Never wound up getting that Taj. Such a nice ride..... you live in Philly thats really close to me too. I live right near LBI, a few miles in on the mainland. If you do end up wanting to get rid of it, hit me up sometime, maybe we could iron something out.
