And if you need to know how to post a piccy  :daumenhoch:

looking at it - the bottom tube looks tear drop shaped - what look the same as the forks with pointing to rear

tell me how the bottom of the forks ends are - solid and smooth or plug ends crimped in ?

it is a lower end bmx but can be made to look better with the right choice of paint and parts

do the bottom of the forks look like this ?



Aiksu made a copy frame or the likes of Tange and such - they did cheaper fames, but some of the frame we well made and welded - some weren't

the other company that it may well be is Jen Ming - again a copy frame but well made - Frame only but with Akisu forks - then parts added to which ever shop sold them

The drop out plates can differ on forks - it the botton of the forks i mean

same with the rear drop out (where the axle/wheel sits in on the frame) can be slightly different - and under the bottom tube to head tube ~the gusset plates can be different

could be the pic but the tube welds dont look too great for it to be akisu or tange and the forks may not be original to frame ,just an opinion mate good luck anyway  :daumenhoch:

Mk2 Burner?

please reset you post count to zero  ::) ;D


it's not a tange frame - akisu and jen ming copied tange and such like - even may have bought tubing from then to make there frames

camera shake makes it hard to see properly

The components look very cheap.
Hence why I said Mk2 Burner!
