1999 Hoffman Deebo

One of the best frames ever made by Hoffman Bikes and as you all know the one they based the T1 Barcode on.

Was looking through the web site the other day and did not see one.  So I thought, I send you a couple of pics.
Was the Star Series version when I first bought it and cost just under £500, which was a lot back then for BMX. Weighs a ton with all the gear attached to it and has thus been adequately named "The Tank" by my humble self.
Still in it's original colour, however, made lots of changes to the bike since I got it back in November 1999. Changed the one piece cranks to three piece (after half a dozen pedal axels broke).  Changed the handlebars to the newer Hoffman Jumping Bars. The older ones were a lot thicker and heavier.  The bike came with 1.95 Hoffman Skidmarks back and front, but changed the front to thicker 2.10 Snafu Rim Jobs. Changed the sproket at some point, don't know why, prob because I did not want to ruin the original... or just for fun. Removed the Gyro, as it was a pain and did not need it for the style of riding I was doing on it anyway. And changed the saddle at some point from the original, horribly uncomfy and somewhat dangerous to your privates Hoffman one to a WTP one.
Still have all the original parts, somewhere... so prob some day when I stop riding I will put it back together to it's former, original glory.
P.S. Excuse the horrible carpets - lol
