I think it looks pretty hot.

Do you even recal if it is old-school?

I think something like this could be a cool "anything goes, unknown build project".

Surprised Im the only one that thinks it looks nice.

Cool. I have been through 100's of images in BMX Museum, looking at 1981-1983 and 1984-1986, but no joy.. Assuming they are stored in submission order, I searched from the last page backwards..

There must be a better way to do the search?, but without even a slightest word to use, searching is pretty tough .

Hey ho - ill keep looking..

Ta,

Paul

I started a thread on the museum about it but no one could name it.
There's more pics of it on there.
It was bought by member Nevada, don't know if he's on here?

it'll be back on, its like on of those turds that keep coming back `round the bend!!

There was a thread over at BMXMuseum in the 'Name It' section with a bike like this sometime between now and when I joined back in Sept/October time - can't find it though. I remember 'cos it's (no offence) one of the fugliest freestylers I've seen

If there was ever a bike that screamed 'do not use a layback in this seatpost' this is the one

Given what it looks like (bastard child of quadrangle and R&R), until I find out what it is I'll just call it the Quad R & Rangle

Nah I don't think it is, the top tube goes directly from the head tube to the rear dropouts on this thing, without any bends.

In other news it's all paid for and is being sent out Monday, so expect a mass of high quality pics come tuesday/wednesday!
