Burner bar angles are set forward to compensate for the . . . erm . . . the way they bend backwards at the grips (I'm sure there is a term) and for the tiny short frames. Also they look even further forward because of the very relaxed head angle.

It quite a strange frame design really, angles wise.
If they could have just copied the Mongoose angles . . . . who knows where BMX in the UK would be today.

Sweep that's it!  Anyway, there is the reason for the forward bars.
Also people used to think that forward bars are good for endos. It is actually the opposite.

old school bar angles will always look shit, trouble is the frames geometry is designed for a smallish framed kid, so, some fully grown bloke gets sentimental and decides he wants a slice of reminiscent pie and builds one up, the only way he can physically ride it is to push the bars forward,
the daft bugger hasn't realized it doesn't work like that,it looks fooking awful and makes the bike handle like shit,

line the bars up with the forks or fook off.


what the fook is going on with the brake??

is that an ad990 on there? did they even make a u-brake in 1986?

The ad says it is the original paint.   ???

This bike has never been painted

There is one scratch on the top of the frame and some of the stickers are beginning to come away

It looks like one the complete/boxed bikes that Alans used to sell...

Yeah this is original by the looks of it, it's not one of those in Dans thread as they don't have the AD990 mounts on the chainstays.

I reckon that's Andy's old one with a few changes (tyres, seat). I think he picked up a NOS one years ago. Just a guess......
