steve bourke Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 i just purchased a Boss cruiser frame, 1" threaded and american bb. the serial number is T0579 and has two extra holes in the brake bridge. is this a team frame ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve bourke Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 My newest pick up. 81ish pro long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikku Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Now THAT's got my attention!! Look at the low-slung tt on that baby!! What's the story behind it and the rationale for the 81ish dating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve bourke Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I believe it's a Patterson with Boss braces. At that time Patterson stopped paying and started the PR200/240 series made by GT so I think this is xs patterson parts with Boss dropouts, brake mount, and chainstay plates. If you hold it side by side with my Patterson pro it's identical except this parts. Dropout is marked just like a Patterson. The guy I got it from painted it and said it's nickel under the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve bourke Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 From my research the serial numbers are in order as made. All they change is the prefix letter to tell which model it is. My Patterson mini is M0106 Avalanche is A0099 Pro am mini M0149 (has patty brace and brake mount) Elite loop E1178 (same patty braces) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve bourke Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 What do you guys think? Microline forks or chrome Boss forks? I'm going to have the paint stripped off the frame and fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikku Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The Boss forks for me, though it's going to look great whichever way you go, especially if the nickel's in good condition. The 81ish date ties in with the Patterson bloodline, though I was under the impression that the serial numbers weren't so logically stamped.

shotgun Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I’m late to the party, but here is what I have to contribute. It’s a ‘93 L&S 24” cruiser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 This is cool. I knew Carlo Personally back in early 80s. My stepdad would give Carlo Acetylene welding tanks in exchange for frames. I owned his 23 rd frame built. Cracked it, Carlo created those Rear stay plated behind the Seat Tube post section . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoose Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I was trying to find out more on a frame I bought back in the 90's for our son. On the rear dropout is XXL59. There is a BOSS sticker on the frame but since this was bought second hand I am not sure it really is a BOSS Frame. The seat post comes through the top tube which is shaped to fit the seat stays behind the seat post. I have been looking online at hundreds of BMX bikes and the only one that comes close is an old school DK Kasten. The frame had cantilever brake mounts which a previous owner cut off. Has anyone seen a BOSS frame with this design? See pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket is Tuf-Neck, stem is Profile, and pedals are Odyssey Triple Trap. Brakes are new school BOX.

JoeyE Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Okay, this is what I got together as of today. I will take better pictures later. Prime Time XXL, BOSS cranks, BOSS spider, Hutch bars, DK stem, Redline seat post, Hutch seat clamp, Ukai wheels, Bullseye hubs, Tripple trap pedals. I'll take better pictures during the day. This was taken in my garage at 2:30 in the morning, haha. The only thing I do not like are the brake set up. I am not liking it right now so I might go back to what the frame was intended for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
