Title: Not a Clue...........
Post by: Daletsunami on October 16, 2008, 05:48 PM
Walked into where i pick up most of my bikes from today and at the side of the van was this old BMX with Gold rims so i walked over and started looking, Dia Compe Tech 3 levers, raleigh burner MK1 rims (superchromed) and that was about as far as i got the rest not a clue.

The bike itself has, what looks like, an exclamation mark in the gusset and the forks have a double dropout (very strange), never seen calipers like it and the bottom bracket is really small, anyway here's a few pics anybody got any idea's of what it could be????

Not Bandito forks, Bandito's do not have any holes in the dropouts also the dropouts on Bandito's are slightly different.

Diamond Back did some double dropout forks too but they don't look the same , weird dome/rounded off bottom of fork leg on those ones .

Is the frame brazed or is it perhaps just 20 coats of emulsion ?  :LolLolLolLol: .

The stand mount shows it as maybe a budget F+F , if not taiwanese then maybe european ? . The rear dropouts look quite cool in design  ;) .
