Not too clued up on the finer things in BMX

and know pretty much nowt about race stuff. I picked up a bike tonight and could do with some help please.

I know these are Oakly grips but are there different types?

and this is obviously a Hutch clamp but its not the same as the ones i see on ebay all the time.

And i know nothing about Tioga Comp 3's and the difference with the labels??

Cheers for the info on the clamp, are there different types of doughnut then? all the others i have seen are not stamped HUTCH

Its a TA, its NOS madness from tip to toe. Needs a crank to finish it. I would post a pic but its shy, it said if everyone was gonna stare it wanted to get drunk first. I told it i would treat it to a dirty weekend in Birmingham very soon and it could have all the drink it wanted

Oh and thats WD40 on the frame and post making it look odd, previous owner covered it before he hid it in the loft

Dude ... i shoulda known ... had a TA bitd, but know that in my mid teens a lot of raleigh kids used to de-badge and try to pass off as TA's, did not want to make that basic assumption that it was a TA, cos seat tube looked a bit longer than I remeber, but maybe thats the doughnuts fault! As far as I can remeber they were all stamped while i was into BMXings, - 82-86, but you are right i have seen nice shiny ones on the bay without any stamp, maybe a bit newer than mid 80's without stamp?

Anyhows be careful once its had too much to drink it might lose its way home, and find its way to my house, cos i would promise to love it for a long time...but not in a hostel in Scotland
