I've never heard Tonny as a nickname outside of Denmark. Its Mads Mikkelsen's character in Pusher isn't it?
Great collection.
Where are the pics of the BMX?

Tonny's just a regular name, though not the most popular nowadays. And yeah, he played Tonny in Pusher. The BMX is hanging in the garage. I'll get some pics sorted.

its actually also quite common in the netherlands. even as a real given name.
@JesperXT, thanks for the infos. if you have some measurements (virtual tt and st c-t would be great). idea would be to use a different fork with bigger a-c and normal rake and try to squeeze as big a tyre in there as possible and get something akin to a tight gangsta. as its nos, itll probably out of my price range anyway, but one could ask. cheers

Tonny 'Tornado' Petersen is a famous (at least within Denmark) framebuilder, whose frames have won Danish championships and participated in both Olympics and World Championships and a lot of six days. I used to own Jacob Piils old one:
This one was bought from a guy who had Tonny build it for him, but never got around to get it painted or built up. It's quite long and low with a 1" Ahead fork with very little rake. I'll take some more photos...
