I know a little about it. They are the coolest bikes ever in my opinion. They made them from 82 to 84 and had 7 dif. kind of bars. Seat and post. Frame and forks. What else? Im just trying to get as much info as I can out of you Vector lovers. Not much in the R and R section. Lets shine some light on this. What do you know? Anything will help and I will contribute as much as I can also. I would like to start a thread about Vector owners showing off their bikes but there isnt many owners. Show em and post any and everything you got. Come on!

Me too. Ole lady not so much. What do you think about a 24 k gold one? Im in deep sh!t. I think it would be hard to do with the bottom tubes. Wheres Woody's plater?

Vector's are awesome! I'm dying to get a freestyler one day, one of the first gen's with the huge platform and the goofy loopy bar on the forks. Someday. In the meantime I built up my Mark 2. I'd like to find some Vector forks for it, but these work pretty good on it. It's kind of funny but these bars with these forks really remind me of current flatland bike set-ups.

(I know this pic make it look like a single down tube, but it's the double. Sometimes the white just gets insanely bright in my pix and i don't know until I've downloaded it off the camera.)

made the frames from late 82/early 83 all the way up to 87/88 is what I was told several times.
pre serial frames supposedly ended in fall of 83
there were also overseas production I have been told the Victory completes after 85 are overseas.

Vector expert, only one I personally know of and only one that there are pictures of on the interwebs that I could find.
its a very odd duck, mini forks mini sized frame tubes but with a longer top tube than a normal vector mini, also with dual downtubes where the mini vectors only have one downtube, and an american bottom bracket.

It sits on my workbench because I have no place to hang it, and I have yet to not get a big smile when I walk in the garage

yes its real, got it from stevenbven on here, was hoping it was a cruiser but really just bought it for the forks, when I opened the box I pulled out the forks first and was like "WTF ARE THESE!!! " Then I pulled out the frame and was really like WTF IS THIS???!?!?!!?!? At first I was confused, then mildly angry, then I got the jitters, then I got EXCITED.....Now I am just happy to have something this unique.....THEN I scored a hutch pit bike....

I own 6 of them (one up FS at this time) and love them. The early ones with the straight brake bridge are VDC made and are rare. I also own a NOS Vector Mark 1 pit bike (in my bikes) which has a single down tube, unlike its big brother.

They also only had two different kinds of sticker sets for the Mark 2 that came either black or chrome background. The Mark 2 only came in chrome, white, or black from what my research shows.

That's all I have for now

PIT BIKE! You had me going for a minute Thats a mini racer not a 16" pit bike.

The mark2 came in red also, lots of pics in my magazines of them being raced< might be a team color only.

It's so small I had no idea what it was Also, I have seen them red but thought they were painted after the fact. You could be right, they might be a Team issued frame set.
