Bought this oddity yesterday. Its a Rattlesnake and the sticker says made for IDL-Distrib-Tenderden West Germany to BS6102
Serial number on the rear drop out says 1 (or could be a j) 3450 (looks like a backwards c) 991

Shame the BMX seat has a chunk missing..

Stem is a Win cr-mo BMX product of Japan

Brake levers are MX Polygon with Weinmann calipers

Forks are Tange TX-500 cr-mo steel forks

Unusual bottom gusset

Twin top tube, the padset had been sewn on!!

Rear drop outs and o.s pegs

Coaster tab

GT seat post, seat post clamp is a Japan SR

Cranks are Takagi crmo 175 x 24, I couldn't get a good pic of them.

Anyone ever seen anything like it?

Yes I've seen one, here's mine below,(also known as a Diamonte freestyler) mine has the J prefix serial too great great find, they make lovely riders, I'm very jealous, it looks like a great survivor

Nice find and nice looking frame set.

Thanks

How much is one of these worth then? as I'm not sure what to do with mine yet.

How longs a piece of string, I traded my frame and forks for a set of tuffs that's had been two pack spray painted and needed some serious hardcore resto work, the acid test would be eBay, as it looks like a Haro freestyler gen 1 it's a cheaper way to get the look without the four figure price tag, so people could be willing to pay good money
