An old mystery bike returns - A sort of Flying Rhino / Rhino 3 - What is it?

<< < (3/5) > >>

I've sent the guy a message saying I'll have it. Worse case I can use it as a part holder until I can see another frame I want. It does look a tidy start point and is its a mystery build I can pretty much build it how I want.

I'm thinking a bit of a low budget old school build to be honest - later (cheaper) skyways and so on. 

I'll just wait for him to come back to me.

Welcome to Rad Alan, your frame is similar to mine which I still have no idea what it is. Differences that I can see between mine and yours at a quick glance are, my serial is on the BB shell with no letters, my gusset has continuous welds, there are no weep holes on the chain stays, and the brake bridge is slightly different.

Nice looking frame whatever it is  :daumenhoch:

Well.. I'm probably going to get shot for this but I have decided that rather than build something with no clear plan (I don't know how it should turn out) I have gone with the easy route and purchased a MK2 1984 Raleigh burner frame.  This is my first complete bmx build and the though of not know what to buy was really bothering me.

I pick up the frame tomorrow night.

Its a Super Burner - frame currently chrome with most of the gold removed.. not sure how it will be built up

Cheers for the welcomes!  I will go and hide.

Nothing wrong with a Raleigh Burner.  8) Probably 90% of the country had them back in the day.  :-\  I had a Raleigh. Everyone can relate to them.  :) At least with a complete you can take it to bits (make notes) and then put it back together again. Learning at the same time.  :daumenhoch:
