I've spent half hour trying to work out what one it might be - should just go to bed  it's gone half 2...:LolLolLolLol:

I think it's a Torker EK (Eddy King)

The first ad in top left corner looks like the one - has a euro b/b by the look of it. The ad's from 1979 btw. Other ad from 81 but euro b/b frame's got no gusset. Then at bottom is a link to Eddy King replica at bmxmuseum. Geeky research over - bedtime :daumenhoch:

Cheers Mark,

I did see this bmxmuseum bike,   ive asked JT what it is,  its either an EK or mini,  but the frame fits a 20" wheel,   but not sure what size Torker minis were,  maybe E in the serial no is for eddy???   Its a rare frame either way.  will update when here back from JT

Paul,
 
With the E after the serial # it is an EK
 
The forks look like Mongoose from the picture you sent.
