92/93 S&M Challenger

[johnny nightwolf]

This is my 1st gen S&M Challenger. I picked up the frame and fork from another forum, and used parts from here and there to build the race bike I would've built in the early/mid 90s if I could've afforded it. It's not quite era correct, but it's close enough for me, all the parts are late 80s to mid 90s. I built it up to ride, and it rides awesome! Hope you dig it.

Frame: S&M Challenger 1st gen
Fork: S&M Challenger 1st gen
Bars: Powerlite Powerbend pro
Grips: Jive Tentacles with Jive Nuts

Front wheel: Skyway Tuff II with Kenda Comp III 2.125
Back wheel: GT Mohawk 48 with Kenda Comp III 1.75 and 16t ACS freewheel
Cranks: GT stamped Profiles with Profile American BB
Chainwheel: Profile Imperial 44t
Pedals: Odyssey Shark Bites
Chain: KMC 710

Trying to get my hands on some 1st gen Challenger decals in yellow if anyone has a line on some!

Awesome looks, not trying to get all RAD on you but it looks like something Cru Jones would of ran if the movie was made in the 90s

I was just reminded earlier how much I loved the Dirt Bike decals from 94

(not mine / bmxmuseum)

I'll take that as a compliment for sure. 8) Those Dirt Bike decals are so cool. They just reissued the lowrider style ones, hopefully those will be next (after the Challenger ones I need!) They'd look great on one of the newer 24" DB frames.
