What frame is this???

[bmx2000]

hi, can anyone identify this frame?? any info would be appreciated.

thanks.:?

[seanmcguire]

umm crap frame that you shouldn't ride? it's too old

[bmx2000]

hi, the bike is not for riding but for showing. why is it crap?

[nowhales180]

check out the gussets! cut the seat tube and pad that weird thing.

[bmxer608]

wow thats a weird lookin frame, sorry I don't know what it is though. Maybe flatland the piece behind the seat tube looks lke you can stand on it.

[tightlife]

"that weird peice" is called a platform, its an early freestyle/flatland frame i'd say!

lots of early flat frames had those platforms :)

I've looked all over, and I can't find anything that looks like it. I think it may be a generic, or "department store" type. It has a combination of features from certain companies, but I can't find out exactly what it is. Is there a serial number anywhere on it?

[Flatlander1988]

Well i say its for show also,, I mean comon,, i have never seen someone riding around on a frame like that,, i mean sure,,,its cool looking, But its also old.. I'd say buy another junk bike,, and put the parts on there,, and hang it in your garage,, Show your friends,, Or you might try looking on ebay,, theres all kinds of oldskool frames,, u might find another one like it.. If you decide to sell it,,, let me know,, I'm kinda interested in it,, I rebuild old bikes,, Later man.

[fitflow41]

looks like some sorta kuwahara(japanese company) very good bikes

[fitflow41]

actually it may be an old mongoose decade or something...i know ive had a frame like this before:hmm: that way before mongooses where department store bikes

[freeride]

I thought Mongoose made Kuwahara :hmm:

Anyway, it's deffinetly an old flatland frame that has been stripped.

[Flatlander1988]

^ lol yea,, Mongoose went to chit when they started carrying them in Walmart and target K-mart ect,, I brought a brand new mongoose Hoop d,, and the crank went out on it,, Then i replaced it ,, and it still gave me problems,,, So i built my own mongoose up from parts,, Anyways,, yea it might b a mongoose,, Its hard to tell what it is,,

[freeride]

So Walmart bikes suck? Man they have some awesome looking mountain bikes for like $150, I was thinking about getting one just for fun.

Looks like a Hutch (not a trickstar) or a Homeless flat frame.
Keep digging. if it's a Hutch. I can be worth like $100 or $150 on Ebay.

I thought Hutch too, but I couldn't find any that had two vertical headtube gusset tube things. And I know it's not a Homeless because I was in love with Homeless frames, and I would have creamed myself if it was one. No cream.

It's similar to the Mongoose decade as others have pointed out, but still I couldn't find a year when they had the two reinforcements behind the headtube.

[JumpOffBuildings]

i remember seeing hutches that looked very similar to this one, but the rear platform wasn't quite as large if I remember correctly. And why wouldn't you ride this? I want to get a 80s GT Performer to flatland on. old school bikes are awesome. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 83 GT pro series so my wife can ride with me now!

[UsedBMXcom]

I would ride the hell out of that thing-nice find.

[jwnolte]

i would not ride it, it's a piece of history! put it in a glass case.

[EasternWallet]

It's an old gt i got the same one
:)

[Justin]

GT never made a frame like that.

[EasternWallet]

Did you look for stamps?

[EasternWallet]

i meant in the frame sorry for double post

[jason21218]

I JUST saw this exact frame on bmx-museum.com, seriously.

I'll look again

[zzzzzzz]

Could it be a J&M frame? Anyone remember those? I think that was the company name.

[Ladisur]

looks loke an original gt performer, OLD ans valuable, nice frame

[fluorescent]

I believe that's an 1832 GT...

[jwhit75]

wow but 4 real it is a cw hbs made frame. check that info out!

[zzzzzzz]

Close, very close, but the HBS didn't have the platform by the seat tube. Plus the chain stays are different.

[jwhit75]

im sticking with the cw try a freestyle model. but if you search those lines im certain you will find out exactly what it is!!!

Nope, looked at those too! Check out this link. It's the complete history and all the models made by CW.

[jwhit75]

im pretty sure that is a CW made NOT labeled HBS(hespiera bike shop.)freestyle frame. there were very few made. its rare as they come.

[zzzzzzz]

If it is a prototype of the HBS, he's made a great find. That's for sure!
