I am trying to identify this frame. It looks oldschool, but i don't know anything about it. photobucket photobucket

Thanks
Jeremy R.
caezar
Nobody know anything about this? Powerlite? Puch? Pacific?

Anyone?

Jer
n2o
Panda?
caezar
anyone else? Ok, how bout we all try to name all bicycle companies starting with a P.

I really need to know..........Its killing me


Again, thanks
Jer
n2o
I think we can rule out Patterson....
caezar
could this be a "Wal-Mart" junk bike? Or maybe some sears or montgomery wards piecer?
shinburger
Need to show the dropouts! doubt it's a Panda.
rick
Profile?
Randy
Not Puch, Panda or Powerlite, not sure about Profile but I doubt it. I guess a mid-90's Pacific dealybob.
n2o
If it was a mid 90's wouldn't it have canti mounts? I think someone on here will recognize it sooner or later because it seems to ring a bell with me but just can't remember.
caezar
I sure hope so.

I got it for 25 bucks at a local pawn shop. Had lots of goodies on it, so it was well worth it.
How bout these pics? Ring a bell?

Thanks

That seat post angle screams early early 80's.

It also screams Panda. But I do not recall a Panda with a P gusset. But that does not mean that there wasn't one.....
DOUG
Peugeot?
jfretless
are those son-lite hubs? the front has holes, but can't tell if they are round or oval.
supraman
Im goin with Panda Pro Am Replica
The pro am did not have a P in the gusset but the replica I believe did
caezar
I looked on bmxmuseum.com and looked up the panda bikes. It resembles this one, but it has some discrepencies. I emailed them with the serial # and pics. Hopefully they can help somehow. This bike looks similar to a lot of bikes. Particularly Diamond Backs. The gusset area looks like the 83 SilverStreak, but its a looptail.
I hope it turns up

Thanks all.
Jeremy

Oh, and the hubs are SR.
caezar
6 different web sites and STILL nobody knows what it is.

Panda

PK Ripper
Puch
Powerlite

Pile of cra*... ?

Sorry, ...Honestly nothing against it....the shot was there though....You know how that is sometimes...you left a good set up!...lol

It looks SO Panda like, the Panda replica seems the most plausable....You wouldn't think that it would be that hard to ID, but that is what keeps it interesting.

Afterall, when you do ID it, it might stand for "priceless"....
plainsbikesouth
I was thinking Peugeot like Doug, but thats honestly a guess. I know ive seen it before though.
pquinnbmx
doesn't it have the tiger logo in the gussett? i have one of these as well, came from england i think. bet it's a peugot or something- let's ask the brits
pquinnbmx
oops, just clicked on second picture and saw p in gussettt, mine is similar but with the lion. still thinking same people made these that made peugot. could be pro site?
caezar
I'm gonna bump this until 100 replies or i find an answer............lol


Anyone?
n2o
Okay, I did some research on this frame. It's from a very rare company called PingTang. I think they were only in business for about 2 years, produced in Northern China.


Okay, I made all that up. Heck, I gotta help keep this thread alive if you wanna reach 100 posts!
Randy
PingTang, yea, I think thats the ticket. I remember reading about Ping Tang, the lady that took over the operation for her late husband Poon....or was it the other way around? Anyway, I found this photo in Super BMX so you know it's for real.

n2o
Randy, you don't know how close I was to using poon instead of ping.
Gooser
Well, it has some "seagull poop" welds that look similar to some Pandas I've seen.
caezar
Still searchin'

3rd gear
puegot(sp) I would guess.
D.T.L.flyKUWA
there was a bike called a ''PIRANHA'' also. GO FISH.
Spicoli
It looks like either a early 80s Puffy, or a Porker !
agentheinz
Big round welds usually insinuate mild steel, but it's a looptail so it's cool regardless and a deal at that price, just for the parts off of it. Wasn't there another thread on these frames recently?
G-Flash
It's a 1981 peckerwood made in Montana! My buddy who had the #2 plate was factory for them and he had a set of those on his bike too!
caezar
BUMP.............DAMN

Here's another one.

Park pre
VAbmxdad
It's not a Panda Pro Am replica. A friend of mine has one. Gusset is totally different. Click here:

caezar
Cool. One down. Were all of the years like that?

Thanks.

That has to be from mid-80's or earlier. Chromed, loop-tailed, double-gusseted bikes were outta style after then. I agree, it looks like something made by whoever made Diamond Backs. Looks like a DB with a P in the gusset instead of a diamond. You know how BMX Products made so many bikes with different names on them, this could be the same kinda situation. Maybe it was for a foreign market, or sold to military PX's, like the Blue Max bikes. Good luck with your vendetta .

BTW, I think it's safe to say you can take 'PK Ripper' off the list.

Hey I remember that same fram being raced by this guy in Canyon Country, CA in 1983. He was a fat **** and slow as could be. We always called the bike the Porky Pig Cycle.

Looking at your picks brought bak that fond memmory!
Thanks

It looks just like a DB viper (maybe Pete's Percision Products) the P looks the same as the P on his stuff.

Just a guess?
theRuler
it's not a peugeot
nor is it a pirahna

don't remember puch's having a P in the gusset either. (unless it was incontinent - ba dum tsshhh)

I'm dying here. Can't imagine that the years and experience that all here have that it can't be identified.
This is crazy.

bongo mcbride
i think it is a profile
Infamous
Did Peregrine ever make frames? I doubt that's a Profile. That "P" in the gusset is a logo of some sort, but not one that Profile ever used. Not a Privateer either.
caezar
CRAP!!


bump.
