The chrome is shot so I'm gonna spray it up as a rider for my 9 year old... it VERY light so should be great for her  :angel:

What breed of dog is that?  My neighbour has a Dalmatian/Border Collie cross which looks exactly like yours - His is as mad as a box of frogs though...

Its a 'Dollie'  :-X let us never speak that name again... Dalmation Collie cross... he's called Floyd... aka the 'Regal Beagle'  :)

( lets face it ... the towel and the dog are more interesting than the frame  :2funny: )

I would say it's the same as mine

in the end we said it was a AKISU and Tange like made - higher end welds and better tubing

aero shark and norco were made by Akisu

mine will be a custom job but going to have AKISU Decals  8)

cheers B

ARRG... ARRRRG! plese post a pic of your stratton.
I would have place my bet on AERO DESTROYER, but don't remember why.
Bendy, in case you read this, you had originally posted the bike-pic ED posted here and said about  "looks most like this..."
you had once said that Lee from burnerworld was the owner --- ANY chance you could find out or help us find out what that bike was? any info, a link?


My pack  :)



Ed, that pic .....  ;D

;)



but that it might not be a Pro cat but one of the others ? they may have had different drop outs due to different styles - race  - street or freestyle as such !

might very well be, Bendy, however I cant find any stratton pics that resemble Ed's / that features Ed's kind of dropouts

what made me think AERO DESTROYER was probably:
Moza on bmxmuseum identifies a bike that seemingly looks like Ed's as an Aero Destroyer (Bogusbob posts same? kind of bike and provides a pic of the REAR BRAKE BRIDGE              =====> Ed -and Moza- should be able to confirm if his/their bike has the same 'button')
->   http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=74989   April 2007 if i'm not mistaken             
         (http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=11303 same)





           to be honest: a bit later   --June 2007 i thinks-- Moza goes 'hm.. aero destroyer dunno'

now i have no info on the decals, so i'm looking forward to seeing OLDSCHOOLFOOL's frame

it's a old thread

but

rear drop outs are the same as mine

he has a T but 9 digits - mine has the T but 7 digits

forks are the same bladed style

geomitry looks the same

but there is no under gusset holed plate on his - mine has

his decals read mk II AERO - mine i can't work out the out line left ? but could be aero ?

so who made the AERO - company ? frame most likey AKISU made

Cheers  B  :D

 :laugh: Hi B !
I think i remember the decals' outline traces on your bike; they did look smth like the decals in question, didn't they ?  ;)

On the AERO company --- difficult matter, as there seem to be less than 12 people who have actually even only HEARD of this brand. However I have managed to locate a person who i believe is the ONLY person on the ENTIRE PLANET who has actually seen and owned an AERO DESTROYER bitd !! :shocked: ---- his name is Si, he lives in a secret place and, yes, he actually is a member of radbmx, where he known as 'back to the burner'. I have contacted him (PM), invited him to enter this thread, where he is expected to appear within a couple of days.........  :yahoo_silent:

so you have an OREA  ;D ?


i just noticed that there is a  bridge between the chainstays on monikans pic (MKII) that is missing on Ed's, so
=> Ed's might be an MKI ?

info that at least not supports the stratton thesis: this bike's recently been sold on thebasy as a stratton super aero, which would mean another stratton typical drop
   

of course, Moza has seen at least a pic of an aero destroyer at some point, so he too could --and, clearly, should-- be asked ......, but first





   we need to rest

Will be intresting to see how you are going to go with this - as i got to paint mine as well and have a bit of a idea of what - just don't want to come up with the same idea  ;D

and i think we need to add this thread to this link as well

If anything, mine appears to be very similar to the aero bike that was shown on page 3 from Burnerworld (Clicky here). Particulalrly when you look at the rear triangle.

My F&F


Burnerworld bike


One recurring thing I keep reading about is how light they are, my F&F is very light.
