Was thinking falcon but I'm thinking akisu now ?
B ???
-
thanks mate well it had a sticker under paint with ook at the end of it the rest in front was rub out with srtipy lines on sticker
-
looking at it - the bottom tube looks tear drop shaped - what look the same as the forks with pointing to rear
tell me how the bottom of the forks ends are - solid and smooth or plug ends crimped in ?
it is a lower end bmx but can be made to look better with the right choice of paint and parts
-
bottom of forks and smooth and plate welded on end it looks like with small hole in both
-
I'm gonna say it's Akisu then - but see what other's think ;)
-
ok thanks are they rare os low budget bmx s
-
do the bottom of the forks look like this ?

Aiksu made a copy frame or the likes of Tange and such - they did cheaper fames, but some of the frame we well made and welded - some weren't
the other company that it may well be is Jen Ming - again a copy frame but well made - Frame only but with Akisu forks - then parts added to which ever shop sold them
JEN MING

-
well there only one hole in it so no
-
The drop out plates can differ on forks - it the botton of the forks i mean
same with the rear drop out (where the axle/wheel sits in on the frame) can be slightly different - and under the bottom tube to head tube ~the gusset plates can be different
-
Mk2 Burner?
-
could be the pic but the tube welds dont look too great for it to be akisu or tange and the forks may not be original to frame ,just an opinion mate good luck anyway :daumenhoch:
-
Mk2 Burner?
please reset you post count to zero ::) ;D
it's not a tange frame - akisu and jen ming copied tange and such like - even may have bought tubing from then to make there frames
camera shake makes it hard to see properly
-
The components look very cheap.
Hence why I said Mk2 Burner!
-
but if it was a burner would the frame serial number start with what i said
-
Looks like a cheap Aiksu copy prob steel tubing and quite heavy welds are pretty bad, i had a few like this pass through my hand infact i have one down the side of my house waiting for the scrap man.
-
Seen this in bmxmuseum looks quite close mate :daumenhoch:

-
It's NOT a fooking BURNER ::)
Most likely a Akisu at the lower end - but with good paint and parts will look good
-
:LolLolLolLol: only trying to help ;) forks look close tho :daumenhoch:
-
:LolLolLolLol: only trying to help ;) forks look close tho :daumenhoch:
Apart from they dont have a big R cut in them
-
mk1 burner - round top and bottom tubes - has a double holed gusset
mk 2 burner and styler has top and bottom ovla tube
this has tear drop bottom tube - round top tube - no gusset - bladed forks and akisu comman drop outs
-
Ok then i'll get me coat !! :LolLolLolLol: would love to know what it is in the end :daumenhoch:
-
I'm just going with a Akisu - on trying to find out what mine was, we went through a load of similar bikes but with slight differences made for different company's
mine is a Jen Ming - slight higher end of the Akisu/Tange style type copy builds
-
Is it a Burner?
-
Looks the same as my old Freeway frame and a lot like other generics from bitd.
Is it a Burner?
;D
