My very first BMX was a Moto 1 and that had a Mongoose gussett and was a looptail. It was black with yellow bits.

Looks very similar but the moto didnt have an integrated seat clamp in the frame ... or did it ?

Check out picture 4 and look at the BB, it looks like you can make out that weird added rectangular bit ????

The seat clamps weird though.

Post by: Dannywhac on January 08, 2011, 08:15 PM: Is it just me or does that integrated seatclamp just look like it's a seatclamp that's just been left on the frame when it's been resprayed? Dunno though....

Really? in that third revision photo down it looks like it's a pop-over seatclamp - otherwise that seat tube is 'phat' - genuinely interested as not seen owt like that :)
