Hi,

I've seen a TA with a K ... serial number without a date stamp

Is this one of the first ones ? or a fake ?  :police:

Tefore:
i think its one of them rewelded jobbies mate

adeshere:
What do you mean by rewelded jobies ?

Moose:
I though most of the one's welded recently had '86 as the date code? I'm not sure though.

Bob_Acid knows about the K numbered TA's and if I remember rightly, it's thought that these are original.

Is the frame chrome or white? If it's chrome, it's almost definately not one of the ones welded recently.

Bob_Acid:
All TA's are stamped with USA and the date they were made....... apart from the K# ones. I've got a copy of an early test article from BMXA that states the first production TA's were made in Japan because the teardrop tubing wasn't available in America at the time. These i surmise are the K numbered ones. The only difference is the placing of the flex holes at the drop-outs.
