That's definitely a circle gusset mate. Not sure what it is though, maybe an Ammaco. ???
-
cheers mate, i think you could be right as i just looked at a few and they use the same chain wheel as the cpx, are ammaco very sought after at all?
-
Ammaco 202 or Wire Wheel; think the Wire Wheel was an Ammaco built Mongoose or smth like that
have a look here a little info at least ->http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,167710.0.html

I don't think thats an Ammaco.

i have been looking at loads and now i'm not sure, does that gooseneck stem date it?

That Ammaco looks very similar to a Falcon Pro...
My old Falcon Pro Race Flyer.
Same rear chainstay gusset.

The main gusset looks very similar. There is a slight profile to the steel around the hole

The rear dropouts look similar and so do the forks

The Falcon Pro Kappa is basically the same design as the Pro Flyer, but the front gusset hole is flush to the rest of the gusset - no profiling of the gusset. There is also a brace between the downtube and the seat tube. The forks look very similar though

There were other similar Falcon models to the above, but with slight variations.
-
thing is the gusset is welded all the way along on my pic, and the dropouts have flat squared off ends. :-\
-
hmm...
The search continues....

Anyone else have the foggiest :-\ every time i find one that looks like it i find something different about it :shocked:
