Hello, i loved these when they came out, and i think ive just found an unstickered one on ebay, is it a pre intergrated gyro Beater?

Ok, lastly, is it wrong to post links to ebay items spotted on here? Obviously not my own stuff, but i spend so much time looking a bmx stuff on there, and see stuff i cant get to, but seems like it should go to someone who would give it a good life, and a good home (like people on here)

What year would you think it is?

the chain stay to seat post join looks wrong to be a beater

After looking at various Beater images the ebay bike does have many similarities. With reagrd to the chain stay to seat post join looking wrong, would you expect to see a gusset there, a few of the images I found had a gusset in that area? Unfortunately most of the pictures I could find where taken from the drive side so that chain stay to seat post area was obscured by the chain wheel.
It's a shame the picture in the ebay add is not better.
I might add the bike to my watch list as it is not too far away from me.

DOH!! I meant seat stay to seat post.
the seat stays on a beater come up to the seat post with a small gusset type peice in between, the one above the seat stays stop way short of the seatpost

I've blown up the ebay picture as much as I can and I think that there is a short piece of tube that comes out of the rear of the seat tube and then bends downwards. The seat stays then seem to meet up with this short bent tube.

this should show the differences fella, and the rear dropout looks slightly different too, but that may just be the angle

its a 95? i think as i have a factory spec one :daumenhoch: there a nice bike ;)

There are some pictures on BMXMUSEUM and the rear dropouts do seem to differ a little from year to year but it could just be the angle of the photo. The rear pegs are obscuring the dropouts so that does not help.
I think that it might be worth a punt as it seems to be very similar.
