AMMACO HELP
« on: July 14, 2007, 09:34 AM »
My mate said the other day that he still has his old chrome Ammaco for BITD. IT has white Aero Zytecs on and is supposed to be like new!  He is selling it to me for £40.

I obviously remember Ammaco's but im not that knowledgable about them. If i remember rightly they were well average. Is there a better one in the range or what should i look out for on it as it has no decals to show what model it is. Dont know what parts are on it either apart from the wheels. I may just give it to my cousin who is 8 and is besotted with old skool bikes.

Any help will be much appreciated.  :daumenhoch:

BTW I had an Ammaco Team Special fitted with black Aero Zytecs that was nicked back in the early 80's - wonder if it's the same one  :LolLolLolLol:

Just got it. Dont know what this is. It has a looptail frame, its chrome and  it is has an Ammaco factory team sticker on the downtube (from seat post to BB). It says UK BMX champions 81 and 82. Any ideas?

Nothing like that one mate.

The gusset has a hole cut in it- (like the old burners).

Anyone? I will get a pic up when i can.

Now this is driving me potty! It looks nothing like them. They all have a double sided gussett! The forks arent the same either.

Ok guys. Its got a serial number on the drop out K27212. It is situated underneath where the wheel slots in (like on a Ripper). It is on the Drive side of the bike where the chainwheel is.  Does this help to identify it?

Maybe it aint an ammaco?  ;)
