Mine are "old school" to mid 90's

1. 1983 Harry leary Diamondback Turbo. (black was stripped in 1986)
2. 1985 Hutch Pro Racer
3. 199? Diamondback Assult (pic is too big, can't upload)
4. 1995 GT Pro Series

I use the turbo as a daily rider. Smooth as silk and extremely fast.

I ride an old school diamondback like 250 rogers. It is a diamondback viper frame,GT 2-piece crank,GT pedals, haro handlebars and aluminum wheels. Its alright I guess.

I used to race BMX about 25 years ago. Was in the NZ nationals a couple of times. (Never placed anywhere decent). Bicycle Motocross Action and BMX Plus were the magazines back then. I rode bikes made local here in NZ but I had buddies who raced 1st Generation Mongooses and a couple had Quad racers (SE Racing). Another guy in the club rode a Redline. I went to a tour of American Pros in 1980 (I think) and met Scott Braithwaite (?) from SE Racing - He was racing an OM Flyer. Stu Thomsen was another pro that was there from Redline race team.

Tinker Juarez filled the magazines back then as the hottest young pro. I think he is still into bikes in some form.

Bill Walters Leathers, JOFA mouth guards and Haro Levers were sought after items back then. So were Tuff wheels and Z rims. Not sure if any of this means anything to you guys but I thought I'd share.

Eventually I got into MX Bikes and that was the end of it for me. Had a blast for a few years though.

I raced a ton when I was younger, in the NBL. I was only a few wins away from being in the expert class, and had minor sponsorship in the works from a local bike shop i patronized alot. Ended up moving to NH and I just couldn't get down to the track on a regular enough basis to continue racing.

My bike was a Schwinn predator. Nothing fancy, but I won lots of races on it. A few races I was loaned some of the fancy haro monocoques and such but they were too light and I always preferred the steel/chromoly frame of my predator simply for the durability and that it actually felt like you were riding something.

Also raced a old PK ripper for a little bit.

I was a flatlander back in the mid 80s, early 90s. I was sponcered back in 90 by a big bike shop, w/ a associate w/ a bike company. I still have my oldschool redline RL-20. I keep it pretty much ready to ride. I love to see kids faces when an "old fat DRUNK guy" on a friday nite gets on their bike and pulls tricks they have never heard, seen, or have a clue on how to do. I grab my unicycle and ride it quite often. I have 2 uni's 1 normal and 1 w/ a 6ft seat heigth.

[newbie 350x]

I saw that 250ROGER has an old scholl Harry Leary Diamond Back. Boy do those bring back memories. I used to ride with Harry back in the day, or actually be in awe of Harry back in the day. He used to live in Glendora,CA. Those were back in the days when he was also riding with Matt Haden. Heary Leary is now running and possibly owns Cutting Edge BMX track in Ontario, CA.

i ride free style. I have a Mosh Brass 2star Gold (Made by Giant Bikes) you racers sure make a big deal out of wieght. My bike weighs 35 lbs. I got a somewhat vintage racer My mid 90's Redline RL440. I use the Redline to make me appreciate my Mosh. I'm selling the Redline soon hopefully.
