Unfortunately not a Goose :'(

and not the white 5spoke mags i was hoping for ::)

but hey ho its a BMX with one or two ok parts on it :daumenhoch:

Any ideas on the FF id please lads ?

it has oval tubes and quality welding on the frame but not as good on the forks, i was thinking Falcon Pro or MT Fox maybe

Post by: Macmania on April 24, 2010, 01:54 PM: It looks like an MT Racing "The Fox" but the downtube doesn't have the brace and the tube is round on the MT not oval. The rear dropouts are very similar in shape also but it does not have the notch in the top.
The forks look like Akisu. Is there a letter before the 9 digit serial number ?

Looks like a Stratton Aero, generic frame with Akisu type forks :daumenhoch:
