hmmm i reckon the shine alone is worth that i did look
at a bmix wasnt sure tho coz when i got it it had a yellow sunn
comp sticker on the top tube so threw me a bit :roll:

oh yeah what sort of vintage?

 

[perry]

it might not be though as all the bmixs i can remember had horizontal dropouts but its certainly similar geometry and intended use unless its a really small mtb

mid to late 90s at a guess

i noticed a sunn on ebay thats similar but the seller might have got the name wrong as it didnt show any images related to sunn on google

whats your plans for it ?

to be fair not alot i dont do urban/freeride which im assuming is its
intended purpose its 12 " frame but im 6ft 1 and its actually pretty
comfy to ride i also dont have a clue what its worth or if there is any
call for them

probably not strong enough for very hard use but would be great fun down the woods if you dont intend doing too much distance . maybe think about a higher rise bar so you dont feel so hunched over while stood

i had a mate over 6ft who would happily ride 20 miles on a s&m cruiser

its very likely to be made from 4130 chromoly steel

rims look like mavic d521 , a nice strong rim that isnt outrageously heavy

might try that see how it rides if not il get rid. dont really want to tho
but no point in keeping it to gather dust!
cheers for the help

before you pass it on take it for a spin around a bmx track

all the jumps will be rollable if your not confident jumping them , just try not to hit a lip going too quick as its easy to float over them
