Yeah it's the same Rickman

There were a few bike companies did the BMX frames

Got to admit the jap ones they do are very good ,,,

but from a purists point of view really a cafe racer should be British :Great_Britain:

A nice Featherbed Tri ton or Nor Vin :smitten:

Rickman used the geometry from the GT Pro to splutter out the MRD frames... :( :( :(

Facsimile Timmy. ::) ::) ::)
