I picked up this frame a month or so ago. When I bought it I was told there were only 2 made. If this is true I don't know, but I do know it's an ultra low production frame. Once the company is named (if someone guesses it) I'll search deeper to find out if it is indeed 1 of 2. I traded BTPD22 a set of LG forks for these SX "Bottema" forks a long time ago, knowing somewhere down the line I'd find a cool project for them. I've already got a set of wheels (chrome rims, red Bullseye hubs) and most of the needed parts to make it all chrome and red.

Now I know some of you guys might name this frame immediately. Heck, it may be a very easy guess, I just hadn't ever seen one before. I'm not searching for the producer because I do already know, I'm just trying to have alittle fun with this. Anyway, here it is, in nice shiny chrome!

Is it a Supercross looptail?

Good call.

I think it's a Supercross Devo to be more exact.

Wow, that took all of 10 minutes! Thanks, Woody! to_take_umbrage.gif

Seriously, I'm really looking forward to getting this SX Devo loop built up to see how it rides. I'm gonna need anno red brakes for it so I hope Bullseye hurries up with their brakes!

LDC makes some red anno'd brakes, and they are top notch quality. Very firm.

Not just for little dudes, like the name infers.

That is a cool frame and fork Jeff! Supercross made 2 24" looptails and 2 20" looptails.

Hmmm, I wonder who has the other 24" then.

Thanks for the info on the LDC brakes, Doug. I've seen them but wondered if they were smaller than normal for little dudes.

There is a 20 inch one on ebay right now, he says he has the other cruiser frame too. He is a member on here, found the listing in the online auction forum.

Only took me about a year! blink.gif

I got this frame for $225 so maybe the 20" on Ebay was alittle overpriced, although it came with some parts too.

Nope, regular sized. I know a few big guys that run them. They just have the adjustability like Pauls so you can run them on skinny wheels.
