Frame History?

I have some updates....
My new current ramp machine is a custom Iowa made STA with the gas tank gusset and brakes on the chain stays.
My new current roast bike is an S&M made T1 barcode in 21" tt with welded on mounts.
Best of both worlds. Super stoked on how both of them ride. I even did the rear end test where I stood on the rear triangle and tried to get it to flex, both frames were stiff as a board.

On a related note, I just noticed the below frame on eBay, and unless I am mistaken, it was the first BMX frame to have an integrated headset. It was made by Dirt Master in 2000, almost five years before S&M popularised them.
Mychaylo:
Are you sure its not just an internal, does look like it is integrated though, either way great find!

Pictures soon, I promise!! I am in the final stages of dialing everything in. I am going down to STL to the Tree HQ next week and I am going to grab the rest of the parts I want to finish the T1. I still need to finish tensioning my new wheel set that I am putting on the STA as well as waiting on a pair of cranks to show up. Then that rig should be done.
My final step is the rubber department. After riding Odyssey tires for the past 8 years or so I sort of want to try something different. The gum Cult tires with black side walls is my current first choice for my STA. But I'm not really too sure what I want to put on the T1. I guess we will find out.
