Its actually a 1984 model the serial number on the drop is 5840022 and it has a small capital e stamped underneith.Guess it could be quite rare and only paid £20 for it.Gonna get it powder coated white (maybe) then source the origial parts,at the moment its got a mongoose bb and crank,gt layback seat post,araya rims,suntour powerstem the brakes are early dia compe and the pedals are shimano dx.Dont realy know the origianl spec so need to gets some tips on what it had in 84.Cheers. :)

If no one finds you a scan of the spec you could try emailing alans bmx, he was the impoter back in the early 80s!! :daumenhoch:

good luck on the resto ;) im sure i see a mitsi mehanical time bomb in tha back ground

The capital E denotes that it's an expert size frame. The first 3 numbers denote month (june) and Year (1984). :daumenhoch:
Pretty rare I'd say. Get it resto'd and keep it. It'll be no good to actually ride as it'll be far too small.
-
nice find :daumenhoch: good luck with the resto!!!
