1994 Rocket
1994 Rocket
early rocket frame . took me 4 months to id this. i have been told the threaded headset and canti mounts means its somewhere between a 93-95 but that it might be impossible to nail down the year any c
**HAVE SINCE TRADED THIS TO SWFLSUPRAPEP FOR A IDENTICAL FRAME IN BLACK, WHICH I ALSO ENDED UP SELLING BACK TO HIM - anyone interested in seeing it heres the link http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/rocket/46495
bought this off some kid for $50. . we tried to convince me it was an S&M ....lol . its taken 4 months and a bit of luck but i finally have it identified as an early rocket . apparently a man named bill price hired fabweld as well as caloi later to build him some frames , and this was one of them. appears to be from the first run he had fabweld build. if anyone has any more info. or some more pics of these bikes please feel free to post it in the comments. i am posting a link to the info i have there as well .

Re: 1994 Rocket
It was actually traded to me awhile back and I built it up. He also had a black one that somehow found it's way to me. I know I keep saying this but I need to get them submitted.
Here's the link to the build up.

It's funny you say that about the low production number. I ended up with two of this exact same frame! The yellow one got sold off while the black one I got is still together and with a good friend of mine.
