I am tempted to pick this up for nostalgia.

Ok I got it home and can post better pictures, looks a little like an old JMC but the fork looks more powerlite I really have no idea. Cant wait to start building it up though.

There's got to be a serial number down there SOMEWHERE...

Spent an hour looking for one, but nope. The Chromo sticker is the only id on it. It does have a thin oval profile top tube and oversize down tube. Closest I could find to it at the bmx museum sight was a Skyway, but none of those are looptails and I don't think they made a 26" the previous owner collects rare 20" stuff, and could not find out either.
Someone has to have seen one before!

99 % sure it is an early circa 80-81 CW I just found one like it on ebay, also pre serial number. Can't wait to see what it goes for :D I need to talk the previous owner out of a pair of gold araya's to go with it now.
