1998 ACE Hole Shot Pro XL

Ex-factory riders frame with a custom 1-off paint job!

I got this frame in a trade from Mike Tisa here on the museum...He was a factory rider for ACE and he talked to Andy (the owner of ACE) about the holeshots and came up with some info for me, ACE holeshots were produced between 1993-1998, The first 2 batches which were non-heat treated frames and were made with 1in headtubes.  Those tended to snap at the BB shell, so if you have the 1" headtube version watch out! smile There were roughly 300 total made between 20 & 24in, coming in yellow, red, & black...Stay tuned because this one will be getting built up soon!

Can't wait to see what you are going to do with this one, I have got to know you and your style quite well and I know it is gonna be one hell of a build!!! Proud to know my ex-factory frame is in such good hands.

Also just for refernce the frame was painted by Maurtco powdercoating in my hometown of Cedarville,NJ. They are the same company who do all the sweet a$$ candy paint jobs on Hyper bikes. They also painted my Red STA & Cleared my ACE Spade.

Re: 1998 ACE Hole Shot Pro XL

That must be an older frame cause it has a gusset on the seatpost to the bottom bracket where both of mine cracked.
