I reckon your right Andy , looks like an early CW california 'luggage rack' frame that has had a fight with a grinder  

Double coaster mount is the giveaway

I'd leave as is , looks miles better imo    That 'luggage rack' has got to be one of the ugliest freestylers out there along with that later trickstar 2 abortion     Im more of a race bike fan anyway .

Sad thing is apparently this was the first generation and a rare frameset so it was a shame he hacked them off from a purists point of view .

This situation calls for a reasonable compromise !

[bobbbbsy]

my mums got an old shopping bike with a rack on the front ! might look pretty good !
