this arrived from the states today, under the horrible paint it looks like the chrome might be reasonable, the headset is a stamped goose one
lots of plans for this one so will post up here as it comes on
the frame is an 83

There's only one man on gods earth who can..........I bet he could even tell you the blood type of the man who welded the thing together.....

Andy, I think it's something to do with its holes.
If it has one it's a girl if not it's a boy

Hope that helps
Whatever it is, I look forward to seeing it restored

never quite plucked up the courage to buy anything from the states, is that where the bargains are at ??

did you have a customs / import tax to pay as well as shipping.

I see lots of things on ebay US & on Bmxmuseum but i never seem to find alot of people willing to ship to the uk.

What's the full serial number 

M3-H2592

With that serial and those seat stays I'm saying Expert 

Or......

A VERY early 3rd gen blue max 

But....

Reading between the lines with that mongoose headset on it - and both frame and headset covered in cacky paint I think it's safe to say that the headset is original to the frame - and that wouldn't be right for a max - they came with tange stamped headsets and BBs

got the paint stripper out this afternoon and this is the result,
in pic 3 you can just see the remains of the decals that had been painted over.
the chrome has been keyed by the person that painted it so is is pretty much shot.








next step, headset out then over to Dans for some nice new powder

That would look great in a candy red/blue or even a black

I think white has been done to death on the Expert/California frames, do it candy blue with blue/chrome parts, maybe even keep the forks chrome
