Walmart has a few old school machines, they CAN'T be the same ones we were buying. Everything is made like junk now....

I had a Kuwahara with CW bars, snake bite tires, some nasty 200$ cranks, diamonfd back gooseneck and on and one. It was easily a 1000$ bike and I sold it for about 100$ to fix my 1979? air :lol: cooled RM100

I rode a Redline

Wish I knew back then what I know now. These old school bikes tickle my fancy just as much as trikes.

....just as expensive too!

I've been thinking of finally finishing my bike after it's been in primer for over 22 years...

Predator Frame (freebie), Scorpion forks (snapped the predator ones on a 1/4 pipe), Redline bars, Tuf-Neck Pro Gooseneck, GT Laid Back Post, Peregrine Master graphite wheels...

Someday it will be Day-Glo pink and black like I originally planned.....but for now....here it is:

This is what the Scorpion frame I had was...kept snapping the upper and lower frame tubes at the brace by the neck doing 360s:

Im actually an Old school bmx'er and have recently converted to old school three wheelers. So I have to say O.C. I got a "kick" out of your bmx dreams. Let me tell you, pound for pound, Bmx parts are twice as expensive as Tiger 500 parts, lol

[Beerside]

Here's a couple more pics of some of my builds. An '82 P.K. Ripper, '81 Hutch Pro Racer, SE Racing Floval Flyer (24 in. cruiser) and one of the holy grails of vintage BMX an '85 JMC "Darrell Young" edition. Worth more then all the other bikes combined.

I still have my predator,lol I might part it out, some project just have to go!!! My fav was a friend's Haro Group one, man I loved that bike. He sold it and then bought a PK Ripper. There is a guy up the street into old BMX and he just stopped me the other day and showed me the Robinson that he found that was owned by another friend in the neighbor when I was riding. Can't beleive that bike was still around.

I had a Predator when I was 10, in 1982 Damn that was a sweet bike back in the day.. Payed $200 for it back then when it was new

[4Q2]

I had a couple GTs and redlines back in the day, my buddie had a kuwahara too, that was a cool bike. I just got a nice robinson this year , my nephew cut some guys lawn and stiffed him the cash, gave him the bike instead so i bought it for $20 off him, good thing too cus this kid likes to Frankenstein the bikes.
