Anyone have an old M- 55 frame?

Submitted by Tylerblanton on Mon, 03/27/2017 - 18:18

Since I realize that I'll never be able to live with myself if I were to sell my old century vibe, I'm looking for a frame that I can beat around town with. M 55 frame preferably. Beat up shape is ok and even preferred. I just need something basic that can get thrown in the trunk of a cab.

Drop me a line if you have one.

I think you need an M48 frame for that, not an M55.

I get my century vibes resonators in the back of a cab here. Those Lincoln towncars have pretty wide trunks.
Would anybody want to buy a set of M 55 bars if I just bought a new one and took the frame? anyone....Bueller...?

Do the Century resonators fit on an M55 frame? I thought they were a little bit larger. I know that mine don't fit in the resonator bag for my M55. Why not see if you can get an Omega vibe frame? I remember Tony saying somewhere that it was possible to just buy the frame, but maybe I'm wrong.

They are very similar but the M75 resonators have a little tab sticking out at the low end (looks like an sideways "L". The M55 are flat ( ] ). I'm pretty sure the front resonator tubes on the M75 are a little longer too. BTW, the way the rails and sides come off of the M75, you can actually fit the M75 in a smaller car. --i.e. the frame of the M55 is pretty big and can't be taken apart. If you're interested I can do some measuring but I can't for a week or so.

Add those old Musser Century bars, and it would be the ultimate badass portable vibe, IMHO...

...but I saw this video over a year ago and no word about it's availability. Anybody have news?

i think malletech bought the rights to it? i showed it to them. however, he made one for a friend of mine in germany. so maybe you can still get it. it's pretty amazing.
