New frame ID Needed (help please)

[Jonny too talll]

Hello all, finally picked this up from Senzo on this forum, I have no idea what it is but its very light as one of the photos shows and needs a re chrome, but I really want to know what Ive got so I can at least put some decals on it. Im happy as a dog with two dicks as this is my first BMX since my Firebird Dellta II back in 1987. Any help would be gratefully recieved








I cant wait to ride a BMX again

That is an Akisu Pro frame and forks.

Blimey that was very quick, thanks a million for that  very much apreciated

stidd's probably right i guess, but can we have a pic of the brake bridge please, as it -i know this sounds crazy, looking at the welds, drops?..- as it looks astonishingly similar to chromeys early Cyclepro over on vintage

[fischflo]

yeh, could be a '82 Cycle Pro Macho .... like this one f.ex http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/cycle_pro/41606

forks Akisu though  ... so i'm just wild guessing  as always ... à la 3 hole gusset, drops .. same bike

[Jonny too talll]

Its identical to that cycle pro frame




Hope this helps

Im going with stidds on this as Ive just seen an Akisu A Pro on the museum that the guy has owned since 1982 and its also identical to my frame, as is the cycle pro! confused.com, to be honest I cant even remember them from BITD and I was nuts on BMX back then, maybe to many bangs on the head in the years since then

[stidds]

It could be either really, I was just going more on the forks keeping the frameset as a set.

Very nice frameset whatever it is, I likey 

[BMX1973]

Nice looking frameset. 

[fischflo]

Absolutely

Not saying it's a Turbo Macho (!  ) ... could also be the early Greg Hill one... or the Akisu Sean and you mentioned (do you have a link?),
...but i did find a Cycle Pro with a 8 digit serial and also starting with '310...' as yours does:
"31039185"  (http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=4349989) .

yours contains this # "31086686".

You could start a thread on museum like "Frame ID - Is this a Cycle Pro MACHO ?/ Greg Hill?"
and write chromey on vintagebmx.com a pm with a pic of your bb/serial -- ....if you manage to log in to vintage...... (They have some issues with that  sooner or later you'll manage to get in for a while..). Perhaps one of those bb's are more similar to yours than the other.


Turbo Macho Turbo Macho

Ha ha Turbo Macho, sounds like a second rate male stripper. I do like that cycle pro the forks look good in that colour and I will have a look on vintage bmx tonight and try and pm him. I get the feeling that this going to be yet another but very enjoyable hobby

The rear drop outs both have 3 holes but one is curved and the other straight ish so they are not the same frames?

[fischflo]

you mean these?

... hard to say from this angle and pic, but i'd say curved.

And i simply refuse to say that Turbo Macho has three holes and is not straight Ha!

[fischflo]

i think someone said this one was an 1985 ?



edit: think the full name would be 'Greg Hill Street Legal' ... and pics of em can be found on museum
->f.ex GhostRiderGt's 1984  http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/cycle_pro/48111/4
->or here on the bay recently    serial# "40211730"  (item# 221267008135)

...just some pics incase yours turns out a Greg, so you get an idea about decals.
Judging from chromey's early Greg Hill frmes might NOT have had own forks, as did also (Tange then tho..?) earlier Turbo Machos

[Jonny too talll]

Cheers for that, I think the forks on mine are different to the one you have put a photo up off. They are sloped at the bottom and mine are flat. I will keep looking on the museum and see if I can get anything else off the internerd

[fischflo]

looking forward to this - neat old school frame
