you utter bastard lol, i was watching that on ebay, had a customer complaining on the phone, my boss in my other ear and then the front door went! missed getting my bid in by 2 bloody seconds! but have no idea what it is, i just like twin top tube bikes

40raymond · « **Reply #6 on:** January 24, 2012, 04:41 PM »

Sorry to hear your misfortune will post a few pictures once it has been sorted

still dont know what it is

mattbloke · « **Reply #7 on:** January 24, 2012, 07:14 PM »

the closest thing that i was able to match it to was an '86/ '87 general pro rl same gussets and stuff, but the general dosnt have a standing platform on the rear

Wayne Ryder · « **Reply #8 on:** January 24, 2012, 08:33 PM »

I thought General when I saw the 'U' shaped support, too. My money's on a 1986 Ammoco Hi Styler:

As found on BMX Museum.

Forks most probably Diamondback:

Also BMX Museum.

:DDEFINATLY THE FORKS LOOK THE SAME

GETTING CLOSER

40raymond · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2012, 09:21 PM »

No one has managed to identify

General seems close but no, forks seem like diamondback any other suggestions

Saturday night - might be some good things on tv - like "take me out"

peeps will be along to help over the weekend

Not DB MX forks (1977/8), they came in two/three hole in the dropout variation.

Closest I've seen is 1978 Moto-1.

whatquid · « **Reply #13 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:41 PM »

them double fork dropouts are class.............

fischflo · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2012, 01:02 AM »

i'd say it's an ammaco styler 500

have one myself, kinda heavy but pretty cool with the fat downtube

btw, anyone know what happened to that thread where the guy wanted to know if he was going after a laserlite ....

?

fischflo · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2012, 01:44 AM »

have looky our museum http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=6939.0

40raymond · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2012, 12:42 PM »

looks close to the ammaco 500 but has anyone any pictures of the front gusset and forks for this

just to confirm

cheers knew you lot would be helpful

fischflo · « **Reply #17 on:** February 05, 2012, 01:46 PM »

not 100% sure, but i think it came with the standing forks you can see on Phil's (oberonspacefruit) bike in the museum; or here http://www.vintagebmx.com/community/lofiversion/index.php/t3010433.html --weird,couldn't log on to vintage ...

fischflo · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2012, 03:10 PM »

about the forks: you could send S&Mc Bicycle Co a pm [http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=871], as he owned a styler 500 bitd, so he sould know what forks go on a 500

here's another guy who has a 500 (Bmxbbb), so you could ask him if he also has your kind of forks or the standing type forks:
http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=388174 ............apparently there were also a 125 and a 250 model

....global confusion

40raymond · « **Reply #19 on:** February 05, 2012, 03:19 PM »

That is the bike I purchased, top bloke no hassle when buying
still need to confirm the forks and the gusset the frame numbers match up with some on vintage

....really?

.... do you have a link?

cause i couldn't find anything on stylers on vintage

.. Found a Traker Rumbler (which in fact DOES look similar to your frame) with similar serial numbers --set up with Ammaco decals ironically--, but that can't be the one you mean....

?

I'd make an extra thread on the forks if I were you

say what you think it is --maybe in the title already

40raymond · « **Reply #21 on:** February 05, 2012, 09:30 PM »

maybe im wrong but it does look like the ammaco styler 500 done a search on google and read a thread giving similar serial numbers to mine
will check again
it certainly is not the rumbler

i need more pictures to confirm the frame is the same but will try a new thread as you suggest for the forks
cheers

ORB · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2012, 09:34 PM »

Its a styler 500, I have had a few.

The one of Spacefruits in the Mu is my old one.

40raymond · « **Reply #23 on:** February 05, 2012, 09:38 PM »

do you have any details on them as i would like to rebuild back to original

cheers

ORB · « **Reply #24 on:** February 05, 2012, 09:44 PM »

I think I may have..

Ill have a look in a bit
