I reckon your right Andy , looks like an early CW california 'luggage rack' frame that has had a fight with a grinder  >:D

Double coaster mount is the giveaway  ;)

I'd leave as is , looks miles better imo  8)  That 'luggage rack' has got to be one of the ugliest freestylers out there along with that later trickstar 2 abortion  >:D   Im more of a race bike fan anyway .

Sad thing is apparently this was the first generation and a rare frameset so it was a shame he hacked them off from a purists point of view .
