G R 9 4 0 9 0 4 5 1
(G a dodgy 6 maybe)
 
fabrication is clean. welds are good. no thick lumps of weld.
seat tube pretty bad. advanced corrosion and split or cut 90% way round!
 :( :'(

well done
now let's see if anyone can figure out wtf it is

might need a bit of coke/tin foil there, but if all else fails just put the post as high as it will go, bend it back a bit more and then it's ready to go on ebay as a piece of BMX history
sure someone will have some TA stickers you could use

maybe the thread title's not caught the eyes of the experts - could start an ID thread or ask 'hawk-eye' hutchman to edit this one  ;)

LOL!! Just read this thread - awesome stuff.  8)

Can you make out what might be on the decals? Could be aftermarket ones though anyway. You should have got the motorbike as well  :LolLolLolLol:

I thought the bars were the ones from the motorbike - only Raleigh could design a pair of bicycle bars that ugly  :2funny:

probably would have been dangerous mooching around train tracks doing a metal balancing act. motorbike frame one arm. bike engine in the other and the bmx frame vertical on my chin!  :LolLolLolLol:

theres a frame id thread to by me !!

i know. damn them bars are ugly. was gonna give them to a mate whos into crappy old raleighs but the lever had been left touching the bars and had rusted a hole in them so binned the lot.
