  • What are the words on the side of the downtube? I see "46" on the second photo, but there's some white-on-chrome that is hard to see against the sky reflection. – Criggie Jan 02 '18 at 20:00

    I'd peel it off and go with the plain chrome look personally. Or get some decals made that say whatever you want.. "Mist's Marvellous Moving Machine" for example. – Criggie Jan 03 '18 at 04:07

Ross Piranha 1986

This is my best option based on the standing platform the fork and chain stays.

  • Definitely it! Thank you very much. Know how much it is worth? – I fly Over Mist Jan 02 '18 at 17:38
  • I have no idea, it's not in mint condition, it doesn't have original parts, also I don't think it was ever a very sought after or popular frame to begin with. – John Burgess Jan 02 '18 at 17:49

    Most of our "identify this BMX" question go unanswered because they're so hard. Plus the trend of stripping all decals makes it doubly hard. Well done for finding a good answer. – Criggie Jan 02 '18 at 20:02

    Stunning! BSE managed to actually identify an old decal-less BMX! Now I suppose we'll get more of these :( – Argenti Apparatus Jan 02 '18 at 21:58

    as long as they have enough distinctive features like this one I should be able to find the bike. however once the box stores started selling Chinese frames its all meaningless – John Burgess Jan 02 '18 at 22:05
  • I had a former ebike with chainstays like this, but they stopped at the seat post. This would be horrible to ride with the frame touching the inside of your knee/thigh. On the flip side, this "bumper" would protect the saddle from falls, and the frame-mounted pegs suggest its a real trick bike for doing grinds and so on. I'd expect the bike to have a detangler for the rear brake, and a potts mod for the front brake. – Criggie Jan 03 '18 at 00:21
