Welcome to RAD Dee :)

I am partial to a RAT look or survivour. :daumenhoch:

Based in the NorthWest? As you don't need to worry about scratching your Rat you should race it in the North Series Old School Series, details here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=30.0

Looks pretty standard apart from the pedals.  It is the lower specced model so all of those bits look right enough to me. :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm near Chester & way too old to race @ 39, there i've said it. I was 12 when the bikes were originally sold & always swore i'd get one. My first bmx was a Pirahna with cast alloy wheels, it weighed a freakin ton - are there any of them still around?? I found this in Stockport, guy was down on his luck & did not want to sell, hay ho. Made my first noob mistake, i'm looking to upgrade it to the higher spec with worn out parts in keeping with its current look. thanks again Dee

Cool bike! looking at the wheels its an ET original, looking at the stem & chainring its a replica  :-\  Interesting, if it started life as an original theres no way you'd change the stem & chainring for the ones you have there, if however it started as a replica & the owner came across the original wheels (replica had chrome ukai's) then you'd end up with exactly what you have there, same F&F anyway, either way its a cool machine!  :smitten:

Good to keep it as a survivor, unfortunately my ET from BITD was dead from me leaving it in a shed for 10 years so a total resto was needed. What you planning on doing with it, race it or hang it on a wall?
