I got hold of something like this the other day... hardly any decals on it though so harder to ident - interesting info on these aero frames though in the thread  :daumenhoch:

( I had a Karmann Ghia a couple of years back... a beauty  :smitten: she had to go when the family grew  :'( )

hi there  ;) do the forks say Akisu on them ?
can we see a couple more shots close up of welds - brake bridge - rear drop outs
is the top tube round and the bottom tear drop ?

track certified - is that not MT RACING Decals ?

The serial number was underneath the bottom bracket?!? (where it normaly is)?!?
The forks had nothing written on them but i can 100% confirm Popedante's id was correct it is a Stratton Aero  :) as i found this sticker....
