Aero F&F of Unknown Origin
m5 paul:
That is awesome, cheers guys :daumenhoch: . I have seen an image somewhere of a Kosoku and those funky stickers. I think this frame is a lovely design. Anyone know any more about them? Going to do some more digging and try and get some stickers recreated.
I have just found the original ebay ad you had up as I had put a watch on that originally as i liked the frame ;D . What a dipstick, I had the info the whole time and never realised it :uglystupid2: .

Yes, have discovered he is a cheeky git. Oldskooldayz (ebay id) removed the stickers before reselling!!! He has asked me to let him know what it is when i find out!! Think I will get back in contact with him just to let him know that he does actually know what it is and could i have my stickers back ;D .

From the ad...
i dont know the exact make of this frame but i have been told it is Torker or Akisu
I wonder who told him that? Maybe it was Penry, the mild mannered janitor. :-*

those f&f were also sold in UK as the aero freeway, i think it was by acorn.

I recently picked up one of these here in the U.S. I've never heard of Kosoku or Akisu before this. Pretty sure it's not Akisu, those were Taiwanese made right and different dropouts/welds etc. I have a Flying Rhino (a.k.a Rhino Axeblade) also and the welds are almost exactly the same. This makes me think they are Japan/Tange made? It's also likely different manufacturers purchased the raw "aero" tubing etc. Maybe why there's different drop outs, chain stays etc.
What I am pretty sure of is that mine looks exactly like a Norco Spitfire Turbo with out the head badge. http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/norco/13089
Here's mine.
