I would say antique. Vintage is now the 2000's according to my kids.

Fun fact: I was racing Friday night of all things and people kept asking me about my vintage retro bike. Yes, it is a real 1999 and not some 2010's 're-issue.'

My favorite exchange of the evening with a 15X kid I know very well:
Kid: "What's that?"
Me: "It's a dinosaur."
Kid: "You, or the bike?"
Me: "Both."

Well, after many hours going down the rabbit hole that is the Internet, I ended up back here on bmx museum.

Mystery solved!
Total knock off. You can tell it is this by the side profile of the plate that comes off the bottom bracket.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness............-Emo Philips

Way to own it! At least if you can dish it out, you can take it too.

I will be about, getting my kids into BMX which has refuelled my love of BMX, so I am on the hunt for some old school bikes, for myself, not the kids!!
