Dunno anything specific about your find but I would...altho I've just spent days stripping and de-rusting one that I'm scared to even post on here and I have a nagging suspicion its a JJB special  :idiot2:

If it passes the finger nail 'ping' test and the welds look good then thats enough for me  :LolLolLolLol:

Theres nothing wrong with my Akisu made frame and forks on my ironing board awaiting my attention - a Diamond Back Pacer 500.

Cro mo front triangle, same geometry and design as a silver streak, but with a smaller front gusset.

How many people did Akisu actually make frames for orther than DB?
