Akisu F/F ?

(1/3) > >>

damonW:
Were Akisu F/F's from the 80's any good, or were they a budget buy ?

CustardLips:
Akisu made generic framesets for lots of other companies back in the 80's.  :daumenhoch:

rodriguez:
Basically Akisu was a manufacturer who made frame sets for a lot of the BMX brands, budget right through to premium, Akisu manufactured to the spec the brand wanted so some of the frame sets were mig welded, hi tensile steel so lower quality and some were cr-mo, tig welded so higher quality.  They did market a limited number of frame sets under their own name but mainly concentrated for manufacturing for other people.

Mikku:
That's a good point (that they made bikes to a given spec), as some people look down on them for being a poorer quality, Taiwanese manufacturer. If they were good enough for Diamond Back, etc... :daumenhoch:
