Don't know about this particular model but I know BMX products (of mongoose fame) made some rampars BITD.
This one is shown on the vintagemongoose.com website not sure if it's the only one they made but it shares a similar gusset with yours:


Nice little find either way though mate - are you getting it re-coated ? If so what colour scheme are you going with ?

[steve Beech TA]

That will make a nice project that, are you keeping the same colour what are you dressing her in

[stfc]

its going to be kept standardish, im going with a burnt orange paint colour which was an original rampar colour,black or chromed spoked wheels or black skyways, original looking straight bars, early mk1 burner weinmann type brakes when i find em!, have some early tange 1979 nos forks which will fit thats the idea but  things never go to plan
