Standard - those bikes are SICK!!! I am working on getting my S&M collection rolling but keep running out of cash!. I have a NOS NG Holmes, NG Dirtbike, Challenger, and a not so nice NG Holmes. All waiting for parts......

Here's the ride I am almost ready to hit the trails with. I got this frame (and a set of heavy azz standard forks) for some pitchforks I had laying around!!

that 250 is a sweet ride and all, but that seat is just offensively high and those bars all chicago'd out.

I've been working on it, that's why the seat is up. If you notice there's no chain and the brakes aren't hooked up. I don't have a stand so upside down it goes to work on it. I have the bars like that because the last bike they were on with that stem was WAY too small for me. I haven't set this bike up yet so it will get fixed.

I am also an oldschool rider so my seat will not get slammed like you guys do nowadays.

Hahaha. I haven't had a working bmx bike in years...and I sucked a lot then. I have a Redline RL 360. The crank is bent and I want a bigger and better bike.

^agreed, that does look funky (nice, but funky) like it'd be hard to get your handlebar rake right with that set up. On a related note, I noticed in the new dan's catalog that came in the mail yesterday that the director v2 is out.

after re-reading the ad (it was on the back of the catalog) it said Odyssey "S2" director forks, see page so and so. I went to the forks page and it just said regular directors so apparently all the director forks are called S2's or something like that...

Finally got my 43t sprocket in. The 25t wasn't clearing the brakes, but now I have to get another freewheel. it will work for now.....






This is my table.....very clean 98 S&M NG Dirtbike, DK Chris Doyle frame, very clean 97 S&M Challenger. I hope to have the Challenger and DK together by the end of summer.....

Put some fatty tires on my 20.... so far so good. 2.25 Fit FAF in front (measures 2.35) and a Kenda kontact 2.25 rear. (2.21)
Tried the FAF on the back, and it rubs the frame. My wheel is slammed too far forward. I can't even remove the back wheel without a chain breaker.

Nice. I didn't know you had a 20. It's lookin' smooth. Do you ride it at the trails?

I try.... I'm not nearly as comfortable on larger jumps with the 20. I'm working on it though.... I am almost up to where I was on my 26. I get real sketchy on the 20 when I get tired, and the lips try to pitch me sideways. :crazy:
