Nope, this is/was ...

I heard you had the job Dan, gutted mate. Nikki and Andy rode mongooses while on ACE, before they made frames. The ACE frames had a solid gusset, like a COOKS?
:(

Not a clear one, only martys one. Was a loopy with solid gusset plates, very prone to stresses in the tube just after the gusset. Stevie vinoah may have a pic in the ark with a bit of luck

tone, your ace frames are a big part of me and my dads life, how sad is this, when i rode a bmx as a kid my dad had no interest,
he just couldn't care,
then when i got better on my bike superbike took me in as a family member, they took me every where racing,
working in the shop with pat and making me a part of a big family, the best times of my young life,
now when i was around 18 and gave up bmx to start work, my old manager walks into my work and says can we paint all these
old frames a new colour, they where ace frames that superbike had bought from ace when they went under,
now i said to my dad, can you help me out, i have shit loads of these frames and could you flat them down for me,
he had just retired from Fords due to ill health at the age of 59 and from a top management job :)
so my dad helped me out preparing the ace frames for painting and the job he made of them was amazing,
he was so proud to still do some work, then a few months later he died,
my last memory of my dad was being proud of his work in preparing these ace frames for me to paint :(
but i never felt he was proud of me as a rider, when i walked in with trophies i'd won he just didn't seem
to care :'(
this is why today i will support everything billy does in bmx, i will be there till the end and that's why i'm
so proud of him, i would never let billy feel alone in his achievments like i was,
as a dad he is my number 1 :4_17_5:
so that's my story with ace bmx :-\
