The Bikeguide Barcode build-off thread

[Brooklynrider]

anxiously waiting for mine to come.

The barcode is one of those idea things huh? It transcends minute geometric differences, manufacturers, and generations so that young men can grasp at homogeneity by means of that barcode wishbone.

I want in on the action. I bought both of these before Barcodes were even a thing. I worked in a bikeshop and my paychecks were often in the negative.
1999 Hoffman Lil Deebo. I bent the forks and a brand new set of Profiles the first time I took this beast out, that's why the forks aren't the OG green like the rest of the bike. The seat post is practically solid steel, it's a one inch post with a 7/8" insert all the way down. The whole thing was a boat anchor.


1998 Hoffman. I only had this for like a month. The chainstay dented like crazy after a few missed feebles, so I sold it. I should have kept this one, I've never seen another flat blue one. One of my favorite colors of all time.

What year is that one Spev?

I would hazard a guess at 2004/5 maybe

I seriously cant wait to get my frame! I'm also stoked to see everyone's new builds once the frame arrive. For now i'll leave you with my 1997 Hoffman Taj!

P.S. Anyone know of anyone with computer scanned decals for the Hoffman Taj? I need to get some made to complete this beaut.

I have some scans. Pretty sure they are saved on my descktop at home.

The scans came from a thread on bmxmuseum, I am pretty sure they are also still on there somewhere.

I think I already have them as well. I found that thread on bmxmuseum. They arnt the highest quality, but if that all that available, which seems to be, they will have to work!

So does anyone have a date on the new codes?

[BonerhasBent]

I haven't heard of anything. When I spoke with Joe, he didn't really have a set date yet. Shall we take bets on when we start seeing them??

I'm thinking sometime after the new year.. Hopefully.
