does anyone know waht kind of frame this is?

[2eightcustoms]

i found this frame and i was wondering what kind it was probly from the 70s thanks also this is a original 70 xs i can across last week that has been sitting for 30yrs

The frame kinda looks like it would fit a Bonnie... You'd actually have to measure the mounts to figure out for sure. But the old sprung rear hub frames are my favourite.

Uhm... Are... Uh. You planning on chopping that '70?

no way the 70 is stayin as is the moro mount measures 16" from from to top rear

That may be an Amen frame. They were built in the 70's.

- i rather like those old plunger style suspensions, not a lot of movement but softens a hardtail somewhat

i had thought it was an amen savior frame but im not sure this was way before my time

- didnt denver's choppers make one like that they called a 'swing tail'...they look good but have a tendency to cock the rear axle making handling a little, shall we say, hit n miss

W00t. And high five. Generally, i don't care if people chop up their bikes, but that one looks *so* mint, it would definitely be a shame.

+1 on it looking LIKE an amen savior but a little different. I saw an Amen savior advertised in the Milwaukee Craigslist last year I think their shocks are a little smaller and less "clunky" looking
There are few pics of an Amen here;

Thats a denver frame..

Circa late 60s to early 70s im guessing. And that style of rear shock is known as "plunger"

And its most likely for a trump, but could also be for a norton or somethin weird!

I think they also made the denvers frame for cb750s but it should be real easy to tell its not one of those. most guys who still run plunger frames run a solid steel rod inside the spring to lock it out, leaving the springs just for cosmetics.
