Yeah, it's the same company so far as I'm aware. There's a few different models over on the Museum but also here:- http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,133435.0.html

There's also one of the BTRs on the Museum, which is stated to be from 1985:-

On the Akimoto front, I think it may actually be Spanish rather than Japanese!!! :daumenhoch: I was looking online and found some info in Spanish!! It therefore turns out that it was made by a Spanish company called G.A.C. (you can see their decal on the seat tube in the final pic) though why one ended up in Tokyo (the BMX) God only knows - something to do with the Japanese name possibly?? Maybe I'll try to speak to the owner if I ever see the bike again! What's the betting his name is Akimoto-san!! Anyway, there is some G.A.C. company info and an example of one of these here:-  http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/gac/  Interestingly, the guy who owned the one on the Museum seems to be a Brit - username "hellboymongoose" - I wonder if he was a member on here? No relation to our own Londonhellboy, eh Terry?

Right, that's enough detective work for one post! :police: Time to lie down. :D
