What do you make of this? Answers on a chrimbo card please

Jaymz · « **Reply #1 on:** November 19, 2015, 09:15 PM »

It has an air of home made to it, and I wouldn't fancy trying to run a chain on it. But it looks cool as

Akisu.

Like it - my kind of weirdliness.

No luck here either

You saw it then Nick? Does look a bit home made but if it is its well done. Couldn't resist

It serves no purpose as a bmx frame but if you throw a potato at it really hard, you will have wedges

A stab in the dark tbh Clint.... Akisu usually gets the blame for something pretending to be something it's not.

Nice to see something different though!

You could dry a lot of socks on that bad boy!
I like it, it needs a Skyway platform on it to make it look more tubey

Taipan · « **Reply #11 on:** November 20, 2015, 09:55 AM »

Where did ya find that? Was it an egay purchase? Built up do you think it'll ride ok?

Ady · « **Reply #12 on:** November 20, 2015, 12:38 PM »

You can list this in the freestyle section AND the race section

Love it !!

Gots to be home made me thinks ?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #14 on:** November 20, 2015, 01:08 PM »

My first thoughts were that it will never run regular gearing and chain without it catching somewhere but I think it will be doable

Looks very cool but a bit pointless. Apart from drying socks of course

deeman · « **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2015, 05:21 PM »

It's like the lovechild of a mini Dp freestyler and a mk2 burner! is it heavy?? will be interesting!!

oldschoolace · « **Reply #17 on:** November 28, 2015, 08:01 PM »

Got home to the frame tonight and it's in cracking nick.

The extra tubes are deffo factory, the middle right hand tube has a recess to aid chain clearance

and the single top tube is schamfered underneath to accommodate the twin tubes

Also found a serial on the bb

It's HD8704727

so assuming it's an 87? Does that serial jog anyone's memory as to who may have made it?

Could be 1927 Onslow special......

This will definitely be interesting, can't wait to see what happens with this! is it cromo Clint?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #21 on:** November 29, 2015, 12:08 PM »

I've got no idea mate, someone must know what it is, it's obviously factory made. Apparently a chrome brother to this has been seen at some point but that's all I have at the mo $:-\$

the Schwinn type spinner pegs probably suggest it may be from 87 sort of era......something tells me Cyclepro...maybe the colour...where was the chrome one seen?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #23 on:** November 30, 2015, 09:46 AM »

Chrome one was seen on German ebay. Rear drops look akisu but a search for akisu has turned up fook all

Akisu tended to stamp the rear drop out more than the bb shell and their serials tended not to have letters in.
I am on a mission to ID this now BTW
