ID this logo ? Possible Ammaco
« on: November 05, 2008, 02:03 PM »
Got a set of bars from boba (cheers m8y) we think there Ammaco bars.  Found this logo on them, I was wondering if all Ammaco stuff carried this logo ? Then I would be able to ID stuff easly in the future. Anyone recognise it ?

My other Theory is in fact these were custom made bars for JR Ewing.. he must have had a bob or two back then in the 80's when he was famous...could have stretched to a set of BMX bars..  think thats a long shot though.

Not ammaco's as they would be stamped with Ammaco, but certainly look the part. Someone else should be able to shed more light on them  ;)

These are the same bars i posted up in the other thread swivel - to get ID'd for Simon - so they weren't ammaco after all ? But they obviously looked like just like 'em ?

Yeah really nice bars mate, no doubt about that. To be honest, the earlier part of Ammaco's history they hardly stamped anything, it was on the later freestyle models and the race bikes they started manufacturing their own parts and stamping them. Prior to that i.e. 1982/1983 etc... the parts mainly where from elsewhere and copies to keep the cost down.

Got this from someone on BMX Museum,

"I recognize it as a logo on a set of CW copy bars that I have.They probably were a supplier to various bike brands.My set seems to be pretty decent quality."

So possibly a "generic" manufacturer that Ammaco used at first.

Looks like there pretty common from BITD. http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=702680#p702680

Few guys over there have them on Redline bikes, GTs from 85...
