Ben John-Hynes Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Right;The frame, I think, is a pace. The mech is a Shimano XTR(it says it on it) . The hub is a Hope XC.Looks good man. How much did you pay? Edited April 14, 2009 by Ben John-Hynes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 DEFFO NOT a pace!!

Cranks are FSA power prosTyres looks like IRC El Gatos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that NBR dude Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yea the frame looks like one of the Baracuda things.Don't think its a bulb, they had a bigger hubshell. I think its a ti-glide isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 its a barracuda ghetto frame if i remember correctly, not bad if used for a cheap jump bike. definitely FSA power pro cranks, suprised they are in one piece, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imhereithink Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I would agree with it being a Barracuda, i used to ride one many moons ago, was a bunnyhop monster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Did you buy it off George Gori or someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16 years later Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Did you buy it off George Gori or someone?Yeah!!!! how did you know? Do you know him? I work with him. It was not his, a random person bought it in and George took if off there hands, then i bought it off George.Anyone have any ideas on what the forks are?

F-Stop Junkie Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Honestly... You've got a shed there. Yep, It's a Baraccuda frame (which people bought because they were cheap), Planet X BMF rims (rebranded Alex DX-32). Worn El Gato tyres, red HS33s (not the more collectable yellow Raceline ones), and a half polished mech which could be anything.Similarly the forks could be On-One or Planet X Knifens.The hubs are the probably the most valuable bits. They're Hope Sports (assuming the rear matches the front) which might get 40 quid for the pair as they're splined fittings not modern six bolt ones.Now, if you had George's Pashley (or car...) then it'd be a different story.

16 years later Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yeah i just bought it to have a piss about on.I never got a look at his Pashley,was if nice then. but his car f**k me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyota200x Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Fork is unique. Caprio by frank the welder perhaps. He had made some forks that looked like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
