I've just found an old school BMX.......what is it ???? PICTURE HEAVY

[southern andy]

Hi,

I think i know what it is but i'm not 100% sure yet.  Ovalish teardrop tubing rather than round i think, hard to tell as there are about 10 coats of paint protecting the chrome.

Can anyone help












































Cheers

Andy

thems tange forks and the frame looks very chromo burner/nova esq

could be an aero pro though as per above post..

how much dare i ask?

[Dark Diggler]

Got all the Aero Pro hallmarks to me, nice find.

[southern andy]

Put it on Burner world now for their expert analysis.


I thought it was an AP aswell.


Seatclamp is a Gold Tange BMX one and the seatpost seems stuck at the moment although i have moved it down so it should come up.

where did yo find that one stig??if you are really spawny it might be a laserlite,im pretty sure that kuwi ran with those forks on the early lasers

[The Burner King]

Thats not an aero pro, bottom tube is too round. Could be a kuwi though or rhino?

BK is right just look in the museum?

i was right!!

I'm pretty sure it is a rhino frame, the kuwi laser ones the rear bottom stays aren't that shape, unless there were another version. I have seen a few tange frames with the bottom round tube and i'm sure they have been rhino's. Best person to ask would be Monkian.

[kuwahero]

Not a Laserlite as the chain stays never came that shape, T3 BB serials didn't have Tange Japan stamped on them and they had a flat brake bridge. Also didn't come with that style of forks.

So pretty sure its a Rhino

So there you are thinking Wow I have found a BMX and you find it could be a fooking Burner, life just kicks you in the teeth sometimes doesn't it? 

[Taipan]

Fookin ell? you lot are quick

[lk_97]

Looks like a tange frame to me, very nice though , how much did that set you back?

[southern andy]

Seatpost is now out with no damage  Damn i'm good.


The Downtube at the headset is oval, it then transforms into round a good 6" inches down, really hard to see as there is a lot of paint. I'm hoping the paint has preserved the chrome because whoever did it used Redlead first on it to stop rust, there is then a fair few coats of paint over the redlead.

I would say that is a Rhino Charge. Nice find. Just hope the chrome is good!
