Slingshot Experts?

Bit of a mystery this one. I'd be very happy to be schooled on what it may be.

Sold to me through friendly member on a local forum as a "29er Slingshot Bigshot"

The frame has been completely refurbished with new flex plate, paint job and rear sliding dropouts by the previous owner

The drop outs are marked Paul so I assume it has indeed been chopped and changed.

Here are some pics of the frame. Anybody care to flex their slingshot trivia muscles and tell me a little more about it?

That is an extremely cool looking frame :cool:

There are a couple of members who have Slingshot's, so hang on for a bit, and you should get some info.

Also, Slingshot are still in business, so they may be able to shed some light.
 
I don't see any mystery. :p I bet with "rear sliding dropouts" the seller meant the rear disc brake mount.

If it's old then it's from 2002, see http://www.slingshotbikes.com/history.php first BigShots. Paul dropouts where standard for their Singlespeeds.

Nice Frameset!

:)
 
Hey thanks for the info :D

It looks like its just had the v mounts removed and the disk tab added.

This will be my most modern bike by far. oooerr 21t century frame.. I can feel the walla crumbling around me.
I think I have the build done in my head. A few bits in transit. Found some skinwall 29er tyres.

Just have to read up on disk brakes :shock:
