Here you go Pickle my old mate. Not sure what it is, I think its a Raleigh. Don't think its cheap neither even though it has a bundle of copy parts on it.

Yes mate, here is a side shot of it, any ideas? It's badged up with all sorts but it ain't no Haro. Also in need of a lot of work!  :P

I'm swaying towards an Tange too but the forks do look like Raleighs also, plus its got plenty of Raleigh style parts on it. Anyone else have an idea?  :)

Not an obvious Tange - based on the serial number.  I would say MT Racing Aero based on the ovaliased downtube, rear drop outs and ARX copy forks (don't recall ARX forks havng the washer retaining holes).

I thought mt racing had the strengthening bit under the downtube like the haro or ammaco?  :-\

That's an Anlun made frame.

Doubt it's a Haro, but Anlun did make Haro frames.

Don't think the aero tubed one had the little gusset at the headtube.  Thing is it looks so familiar, I'm going to have a look through my BMX mags to see if I can spot it.  The rear dropouts are what makes me think MT Racing, the way the it extends up the rear stay plus the ARX type fork  :-\.
