Nice stroke of luck - and nice tidy up too! :daumenhoch:
I see you've lucked out with an all chromoly frame as well, rather than the chromoly front triangle. Why does no one I know have an 'old BMX in the back garden/shed/garage' :(
Of of interest- what did you do with the original seat - dib dobs if you're selling ;)
