AMMACO HELP

[munners]

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.

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

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?

It also has a single gusset.?  I think this is a really early one. 

Any ideas all?

and if you don't like it i'll give you £40 for it

i like that

[munners]

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.

[theRuler]

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

Are you sure that it is an ammaco and not just a burner thats had the stickers stuck on it 

[hunterdubber]

That's funny I don't remember a single gusseted Ammaco either .

I had a white one same as the Silver star but white frame and forks got that in March 82 

No pics though

im sure the single gusset was more like a moto 1 / 2  i remember them bein sold along side the ammaco s

I had the same bike, my first BMX... black frame with yellow OGKs.

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?
