the family remembers he ether swapped it for something or got it from the tip but remember it was just the frame & he had it striped & resprayed, I'll prob land resorting it even if it worth nout anyway ;)

Restore it anyway dude, it is worth it for the memories if nothing else. It could be a really nice build with a repowder and some nicer parts without having to cost a fortune. Get a site supporters tag and take advantage of the for sale section in here. I can see it with some tuffs, some nicer bars, a nicer seat.....be sure to post the results if you do I would love to see it :daumenhoch:
pvtspoon:
found a photo of when i was given it all fresh in 1988ish
so ive spent this evening looking for a S/n or any thing to help id it & found nothing but found a sticker under the white paint on the downtube (sorry if i got the name wrong) hoping these might help id it i use sime light thinner to get the white paint off
And this sticker on the tube from the seat
deeman:
No, still no clue! What does that sticker say? motocross? what does it say under the thinners also...hard to see from pic. It looks like it may have been a seventies frame which may have had a motocross theme.....may have had mudguards etc, which has been built with later bmx parts
Either way I like it...deserves a restoration of some sort...try and get it back to how it was....or completely remodel it!
