they were made 87/88

87 had a head tube badge, 88 had a sticker on head tube i think

Possible didn't think of that , no badge but it's in great shape so I'm guessing 88

Ive got 2 frames and only one fork one frame is for sale if anyine is interested

Also I have owned a couple 88's both with head badges. Not sure about my old one but the one I have now is dated late 87 but it's an 88 model and has the badge.

Some stuff with your score doesn't look correct. First off the serial. These were sold as 88 models. Some are dated late 87 but thats just because they started making them early. The serial would make that an 83. I'm pretty sure it's been re-decaled because those decals are meant for the gray/chrome models. They most likely have been switched as people often did even back in the day. The decals for the chrome bikes are different. Compare them too your other one. Also look how high your seat stays are. That is a tell tale sign of 83...usually experts. Is the brake bridge arched? Not trying to rain on your parade but just give my input. If it were mine I would switch forks with the other on you have. Then you will have a correct 88 pro and a 83 cali-expert

IMO that bike was a major fluke from goose built with a leftover frame or someone pieced it together. Either way I'm really jealous of your chrome cali pros because that was my first good bmx bike...now I have a chrome and grey one

I thought something was fishy due to the serial # and no the brake bridge is not curved like my other one, that was the 1st thing that made me check the serial #. I didnt think about someone switching the decals because they look old and OG they have def been on it for a while, and I knew the forks are correct. I am going to take my other frame off the FS listing and pair it with these forks and make a rider for myself. I I got this for so cheap I cant complain so its all good
