Hey B, thought these were well discuued on OZBmx lol! Rebel was a UK company based inShropshire, they made a heap of different parts, race and freestyle frames. The UK Rebel dates as early as 82, Danny Whitely and Southern Andy are big fans so could offer more info. Rebel in the US is a late 80's company that had nowt to do with the UK, US ones were made by MCS for Rebel. Hope this makes sense!
