    1970s or early 80s stainless steel Thunderball X frame

    Yeah, it's sitting in my loft doing nothing. I'm a mountain biker and don't have any use for it. Like I said, it was hanging in the shop for years and one day I decided I had to have it. No sense in the decision, I just liked the look of it. Can't help myself when it comes to bike stuff.

    1970s or early 80s stainless steel Thunderball X frame

    No, It's never been ridden. My son was a street/skatepark BMXer and he helped himself to wheels etc. It's basically hung around in my garage for years. Time to go I think.

    Thanks for the replies, I'm going to go ahead and buy new wheels. I managed to fit a 135mm hub in without too much bother and the wheel seemed centered. don't anticipate any major issues. Cheers

    Or, I could just buy a 130mm wheel and force it in I suppose. Just tried it with an old 135mm mountain bike wheel and it went in with a little bit of effort.

    Hi, I am new to the road forum and have sent an introduction post. I am building up my 1989 Holdsworth Professional 531c road frame. It's not a classic restoration, I'm intending to use it as a commuter bike so I'm not rebuilding it as original. However, the original blue anodised gear mechs...

    Hello!!

    Thought I'd better introduce myself before I start asking questions. I am an ex road racer/mountain biker. I raced from the late 80s through to around 2001. I did the usual and trained too hard and hacked myself off with bikes. I started riding again a year ago after a 10 year break. I'm now...

    1970s or early 80s stainless steel Thunderball X frame

    Have attached some more pics. The serial no on the BB is R3J0033. There don't seem to be any other markings on the frame. All the welds are very neat and even, the front dropouts are fully welded on one side with 3 tacks on the other. I bought this as a frame and forks only. The chainset and...

    1970s or early 80s stainless steel Thunderball X frame

    Hey, I've got a stainless steel racing BMX frame and forks with red and blue graphics. It has Thunderball - X on the frame and the forks have Ishiwata bmx cromo stickers. The dropouts are thin both front and rear (around 2-3mm) and are drilled. There are small gussets on the downtube/headtube...

    Manitou Spyder R forks for sale

    I have removed these from an immaculate and apparently unused Klein Pulse Race MTB. The forks are in excellent condition and appear to function correctly. Obviously these are not the cutting edge of modern suspension technology but would be perfect for anyone rebuilding a retro mountain bike...
