Never heard of Rampar.

Rampar was the BMX division of Raleigh bicycles. I used to work at the neighborhood bike shop in the summers and it was primarily a Raleigh dealer. The local guys I raced with all rode the brands you mentioned, plus others like Torker, Skyway, Thruster, SE Racing, Patterson, and Dyno.
I still have my Kuwahara hanging in the rafters of the garage. It's exactly as it was in 1985.
Wish I could say the same for me!
