need help with BMX bikes

slo_guy · 05-14-2012, 10:16 PM

A couple of friends with BMX bikes sometimes go cruising from El Porto to Torrance. We should have people here join in. Sometimes we get up to 20 people.

Here's my old redline.

Holy shit I see some collectibles in this thread.

11 years in BMX and counting... In flatland, to be precise.

Thanks. Your Diamond Back is also fantastic: simple lines and mirror finish chrome - awesome.

You're right about BMX museum, I was perusing this for far too long yesterday. I am going to have to take some time at the weekend to look - sad, but true.

Cheers ...

Mine.... Redline RL20-II

This was not too long after I got the frame and fork and just mashed it together with parts I had. Eventually, I ended up removing all of the paint (Radberry...for those who care) and went all chrome. Added Flight 401 cranks and chrome Peregrine 48 wheels. Sadley...I don't have any pics of it when it was looking it's best.

a good buddy of mine says that to his knowledge, his and his 2 brothers' old BMX bikes are still hanging up in his mom's garage. he said i'm more than welcome to have whatever is there. all i know is that he had a late 80's or early 90's Dyno VFR. no idea on the others. this is a nice possible score, or possibly a huge disappointment if she got rid of them. will report back...

My buddy just listed his 86 Diamond Back hot streak (he collects some).

Ebay link

Love the old ones.

I still have my old 1985ish Kuwahara Lazerlite that I had as a kid. I will have to get it out of the rafters and take a pic. Still has all the original pads and such. Chrome with laid back seat post.
