It has an air of home made to it, and I wouldn't fancy trying to run a chain on it. But it looks cool as

It serves no purpose as a bmx frame but if you throw a potato at it really hard, you will have wedges :daumenhoch:

A stab in the dark tbh Clint.... Akisu usually gets the blame for something pretending to be something it's not.  :LolLolLolLol:

You could dry a lot of socks on that bad boy!
I like it, it needs a Skyway platform on it to make it look more tubey  :daumenhoch:

My first thoughts were that it will never run regular gearing and chain without it catching somewhere but I think it will be doable  :)

Looks very cool but a bit pointless. Apart from drying socks of course :)

Got home to the frame tonight and it's in cracking nick.

 The extra tubes are deffo factory, the middle right hand tube has a recess to aid chain clearance

and the single top tube is schamfered underneath to accommodate the twin tubes

Also found a serial on the bb  :daumenhoch:

It's HD8704727

so assuming it's an 87? Does that serial jog anyone's memory as to who may have made it?

I've got no idea mate, someone must know what it is, it's obviously factory made. Apparently a chrome brother to this has been seen at some point but that's all I have at the mo  :-\

the Schwinn type spinner pegs probably suggest it may be from 87 sort of era......something tells me Cyclepro...maybe the colour...where was the chrome one seen?

Chrome one was seen on German ebay. Rear drops look akisu but a search for akisu has turned up fook all :(

Akisu tended to stamp the rear drop out more than the bb shell and their serials tended not to have letters in.
I am on a mission to ID this now BTW

Post by: oldschoolace on November 30, 2015, 01:04 PM
That was exactly my thoughts Jaymz but i wasnt sure. All the akisu stuff i could find was stamped on the drops. Although its faint, this is deffo stamped on the bb and no where else.

appreciate the help bud, Getting google image blindenss  :D

if it needs a name the 'TripTop' gets my vote

Would be interesting to remove the paint and to see what it unveils underneath. Although probably not if its original paint.  :-\  :daumenhoch:
