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

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'

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

)

wow - a bit of positivity...

cheers Dave - I think it will turn out pretty good

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #30 on:** January 27, 2011, 10:47 PM »

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

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?

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 !

fischflo · « **Reply #38 on:** January 30, 2011, 10:36 PM »

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

RATS....

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #43 on:** January 31, 2011, 02:45 AM »

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

fischflo · « **Reply #44 on:** January 31, 2011, 05:53 PM »

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 !!

---- 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.........

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #45 on:** January 31, 2011, 09:02 PM »

but it looks the wrong way round for the AERO decal

fischflo · « **Reply #46 on:** February 01, 2011, 12:54 AM »

so you have an OREA

?

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

ED209 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 06, 2011, 06:42 AM »

Mine was deffo an Aero 'Something' as the Aero decals on it were original, based on what a bitch they were to get off

Anyway... been keying the hell out of my chrome for a couple of days and I got the primer on yesterday... gotta go hunt my baby blue today

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #48 on:** February 06, 2011, 10:52 AM »

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

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.
