Good quality BMX frames with an oval downtube?
« on: June 26, 2018, 05:19 PM »
As above,name me some oldschool BMX with oval downtube?

Walked past my local cash convertor and they have an oldschool BMX for sale .

What caught my eye was that it had yellow OGK mags(good start),the rest of the parts are junk ,apart from maybe the bars which I think are late model burner bars.

The frame is chrome,but the welds are really good quality tig welded which piqued my interest.

The forks are not original I don't think as they have been painted white and have different (bubble gum) welds.

So back to the frame,we have quite a thick round top tube,an oval downtube,and the seat stays come up past the seatpost a bit like a GHP if that makes sense.

The rear dropouts are quite small,almost like late RedLine ones,and it has quite a distinctive brake bridge,similar to late Supergoose with the holes in.

It has Skyway stickers on (it's deffo not a Skyway of any description I don't think),and the shop has it stickered up as an 80s Raleigh Burner(it isn't).

I thought I had seen pretty much every oldschool frame but this has me stumped.

I know pics would be great but my battery was dead.

They want £179 which is overpriced if it's a Johnny no name,but worth picking up if it's something decent.

So fire away chaps ,give me some ideas.....

any gussets at the headtube?
When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.
