Similar Seatstay on Fabweld/MCS Bully also?
Nonone knowns If they did 24"?
Then it's an earlier F&F,because off no serial....
???

no affiliation with the Rocket X1's maker i suppose?
Damn cool bike this, 'd love to find out more ...........think i read they're from FL USA
ädit
think Marty's referring to this pitbaldridge guy who posted a mystery frame on oz and (mainly) museum
http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=181346&p=9
bmxerpete there seems to know Rocket stuff (http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1808610#p1808610)
....acording to that early rockets were Fabweld built (so ur observation would make sense..) and of higher quality. SInce yours has no serial and is even of the Webco batch (1992? ???), i'd guess yours is then also Fabweld built

see on ur thread here http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=4852227 that you still seem to doubt that it's a Rocket even though the founder of Rocket says it's one....?
might be worth a pm to bmxerpete (see Reply#17 above), seems bit like a Rocket scientist... :2gunsfiring_v1:
also this coloredtuffs guy from the bike Danny posted ....sa-weet bike..... he seems to know stuff. But his looks just like yours anyway, so at least i guess it's mystery solved.
...love these scores :)

"Yes Rockets used MCS forks as stock. So MCS is a Rocket fork anyways...." Giginfrogg
this Rocket 24'' cruiser in that thread has more of a sticktail look (like on a rebel cruiser), that section on yours seems to look different . :laugh:

Yep,Unstamped earlier Fabweld/MCS Rocket.
Sold in da beginning only as an F&F.
After that Nico Does build them,with GT Parts & later with his own brand Webco Parts.
Quote:Bill Prince,
I made 100 of these frames. they had a 13 inch high BB set, it rode like a 20 incher. its a rocket 24 rode by the factory rocket team in 1992 to 1996 won alot of titles, NOTHINGS FASTER! than rocket!

My F&F here is a prototype!
'90/'91 WEBCO E-Type 24" Cruiser(West European Bicycles Company)
Bill Prince used THE same design F&F,in '92 after that Nico Does came with his E-Type 24" in'90!
