Cheers Bobby,You're a starman! I spent three hours on the net lastnight and got no joy.All I know is they make shit hot tubing,went bump in the 90's and made some excellent racers and mtb's.Oh and I found a spec sheet from ishiwata on the same bmx tubeset..But I went to bed 4am thinking how rare is this? I better not throw it in a skip...
It'd be nice to find out some more stuff on it..Decals/spec pictures..Value even...
Thanks Bobby
Roy The Boy! :)

This is a reply from my mate who has one.
Looks the same as mine alright.
I bought it as a F&F set probably in 1983 or 84 from a shop in Darlington (can't remember it's name).
As far as I can remember it was just a CW Racing no other reference.
It was that or a Harry Leary turbo but my dad insisted the quality of the frame was ten times better
so he made the decision for me. Can't really complain about that sort of thing when your 12.
Mine is in much better nick with only brake cable wear and a tiny ding on the down tube.
hope that helps,
David Baker

Nice one..Thanks for that chaps! So the next question is do I put cw decals on it then..Do you know what decals your friends has? Have you seen it? Sorry to peck your head? It's just that you're the nearest to me getting this bike right..Thanks for all your help so far.
Cheers
Roy The Boy! ;)
Bobby GHP:
This is all Dave can remember.
It had black CW Racing on foil stickers on down tube and head tube don't think it had any on the forks.
musicmitch:
Cheers Fella! I might get it powder coated and track down some cw decals then..I might even just sell it if anyone fancies it cheap! Let me know if anyone's interested..
Thanks again
Roy The Boy! :)
