(G a dodgy 6 maybe)

fabrication is clean. welds are good. no thick lumps of weld.
seat tube pretty bad. advanced corrosion and split or cut 90% way round!

well done
now let's see if anyone can figure out wtf it is

might need a bit of coke/tin foil there, but if all else fails just put the post as high as it will go, bend it back a bit more and then it's ready to go on ebay as a piece of BMX history
sure someone will have some TA stickers you could use

where you said. just after that first bridge on the right beyond that access door . did it just catch your eye. well spotted...theres a motorbike frame/engine and various other bits of crap there. do you not recognise the serial number ?

them bars were sat at a funny angle hence what you thought you may have seen !!

im not sure they are even bmx bars..lol

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #56 on:** February 06, 2012, 07:17 PM »

bars are Grifter bars - off of a super grifter or i think a silver/blue - grifter anyway

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #57 on:** February 06, 2012, 08:09 PM »

no one know the serial number ?? normally named in minutes !

maybe the thread title's not caught the eyes of the experts - could start an ID thread or ask 'hawk-eye' hutchman to edit this one

What a great thread.

Bobbbbsy - you deserve a medal for your dedication to Old School BMX.

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #62 on:** February 07, 2012, 08:51 PM »

title changed!!

LOL!! Just read this thread - awesome stuff.

Can you make out what might be on the decals? Could be aftermarket ones though anyway. You should have got the motorbike as well

I thought the bars were the ones from the motorbike - only Raleigh could design a pair of bicycle bars that ugly

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #64 on:** February 07, 2012, 08:53 PM »

cheers fellas.. shame its a piece of dilapidated crap but someone had to go and find out!!

probably would have been dangerous mooching around train tracks doing a metal balancing act. motorbike frame one arm. bike engine in the other and the bmx frame vertical on my chin!

theres a frame id thread to by me !!

i know. damn them bars are ugly. was gonna give them to a mate whos into crappy old raleighs but the lever had been left touching the bars and had rusted a hole in them so binned the lot.
