Early 00's tank, stems on upside down probably to give the (i'm guessing) small bars a bit of extra rise

Can't go wrong if it was cheap, you won't break it in hurry  ;D

What are the cranks?

As Betty said - late midschool tank  :daumenhoch:

Them cranks are those one's BMX City were flogging off last year cheap - think TheCaptain bought a load of them on eBay a while back. Can't for the life of me remember what they're called though.

Cranks are ultimate hardwear ones the fella i got it off said he built it two years ago and haden't used it and everything seems like new.Tthe stems upside down and seat clamp is the wrong way round but other than that i'm happy  :) and its a feather weight compared to my cromo pork  ;)

It's probably a 2003 model - the later one's had those massive built-in gyro tabs. I think Cyclesport and W@nkstanleys were selling NOS 2003's a couple of years ago for around the £50-60 mark :)

If it is a 2003, in my book that's still just mid school  :daumenhoch:
