My sister had one very similar to this called the Desert Rose.

Finished putting together my 1980 Pro Thunder 3.  Fun old bike.  My kids think its cool to ride around too.  Its come a long way since i saved it from the scrap heap this past winter.  I stripped it down.  Gave it a bath in Naval Jelly to neutralize rust.  Then i cleaned all the parts up, and regreased everything upon assembly.  I found a few parts locally cheap to spruce it up a little.  Including red anodized Sumo rear rim laced to red anodized SR freewheel hub and Suntour freewheel.  Then i put on some old red lined tires that were sitting in my shed.  Found a red and chrome sprocket, red anodized rear brake, and black Odyssey lever in a local bike shop basement.  Then i added a white Odyssey cable and some red A'ME grips.  My friend tossed me a cheapo number plate to throw on and well here we are.  Its no Profile Champ, but its still a pretty cool vintage bmx.  They dont make them like this anymore.
