Title: I've just found an old school BMX.......what is it ???? PICTURE HEAVY
Post by: southern andy on August 11, 2011, 04:56 PM: Hi,

I think i know what it is but i'm not 100% sure yet. Ovalish teardrop tubing rather than round i think, hard to tell as there are about 10 coats of paint protecting the chrome.

Can anyone help ?????????

Post by: southern andy on August 11, 2011, 05:26 PM: Put it on Burner world now for their expert analysis.

I thought it was an AP aswell.

Seatclamp is a Gold Tange BMX one and the seatpost seems stuck at the moment although i have moved it down so it should come up.

Post by: The Burner King on August 11, 2011, 05:55 PM: Thats not an aero pro, bottom tube is too round. Could be a kuwi though or rhino?

Post by: The Burner King on August 11, 2011, 06:06 PM: I'm pretty sure it is a rhino frame, the kuwi laser ones the rear bottom stays aren't that shape, unless there were another version. I have seen a few tange frames with the bottom round tube and i'm sure they have been rhino's. Best person to ask would be Monkian.

Post by: kuwahero on August 11, 2011, 06:16 PM: Not a Laserlite as the chain stays never came that shape, T3 BB serials didn't have Tange Japan stamped on them and they had a flat brake bridge. Also didn't come with that style of forks.

So pretty sure its a Rhino

Post by: Taipan on August 11, 2011, 06:21 PM: Fookin ell? you lot are quick :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: lk_97 on August 11, 2011, 06:55 PM: Looks like a tange frame to me, very nice though :daumenhoch:, how much did that set you back?

Post by: southern andy on August 11, 2011, 07:19 PM: Seatpost is now out with no damage :4_17_5: Damn i'm good. :LolLolLolLol:

The Downtube at the headset is oval, it then transforms into round a good 6" inches down, really hard to see as there is a lot of paint. I'm hoping the paint has preserved the chrome because whoever did it used Redlead first on it to stop rust, there is then a fair few coats of paint over the redlead.

I would say that is a Rhino Charge. Nice find. Just hope the chrome is good! :)
