Need help to I.D a standard byke co. bike

[STANDARD_BYKE]

I got this bike off a friend and dont know anything about Standard Bykes. If you can tell me the model and maybe the year that would be great.

[eightdip]

You may need tyres and innertubes before you know the year man

[STANDARD_BYKE]

You dont have to be a smart ass.

[eightdip]

Just pointing it out...

[FuzzyRyder]

Hey, I've got a levan seat now too! lol

[eightdip]

Haha nice one fuzzy

[FuzzyRyder]

haha, it's really uncomfortable. I plan on eventually getting a senior...

[eightdip]

pfft senior lol, just that little bit more padding and not as good designs.

The junior isn't soo bad as long as you don't sit for more than 10 seconds haha

[FuzzyRyder]

Haha, I kinda like the plainness of it...

They should be able to ID it there; it doesn't look like any Standard I've ever seen (assuming that it's actuabbly a Standard, and not something else with Standard stickers on it), that's for sure. It's definitely a race frame, and it's pre-1996 since it still has the 1" headtube.

[FuzzyRyder]

Acctually it does have the 1 1/8'' head tube.

[KinetikBiker]

Acctually it does have the 1 1/8'' head tube.
I think your right...

[STANDARD_BYKE]

the head badge says Standard Industries and in the middle has SI. How long has it been since they used a badge like that. The decals are very old you can tell by looking. Is there anything else that would tip me off that it is a Standard?

[eightdip]

Is it me or is that a euro bb?

[FuzzyRyder]

It's definelty an american bb.

[eightdip]

Oh yeh, i can see the nut on the axel

[wethepeople]

You mean you couldnt see the BB shell hanging below the frame?

And that is a looong rearend.

[CMcMahon]

With a looptail, no less.

[wethepeople]

Whats the deal with looptails? is there and advantage to them for strength, weight or anything?

And i'm really stuck on how big the headtube is.

[CMcMahon]

It looks like a 1-1/8" now that I look at it, but there's something odd about it. Seeing as how it's probably a really early one, though, that's probably why.

As for the looptail... do you honestly think that Fly Bikes wouldn't have added it as one of the Pantera 2's gimmicks if it weighed less than a normal CS/SS/DO setup?

[eightdip]

[QUOTE=Beerman]It looks like a 1-1/8" now that I look at it, but there's something odd about it.[QUOTE]Again i may be wrong but is it a 1 1/8" threaded headset?

[STANDARD_BYKE]

I just took the neck off of it and it is a 1" threadless headset.

[wethepeople]

Ya, thats it.

[racersk66]

The seat is a lil high ya may wanna lower it a bit.

[iloveboston]

i dont think standard ever produced a bike with a rearend like that.
