Re: My earliest ride
may be a little too new for you guys but my ride was a profile frame and fork, redline three piece crank with sealed bearings, bear trap (ouch my shin) pedals, pedal traps when racing, shimano rims, stainless spokes, bullseye sealed hubs, uni seat and bars, dont remember the brakes manuf. but it was the first bmx center pulls. ill see if i can find pics.
i kept breaking center of redline cranks so i had a machinist in town make me one out of 4340 and heat treat it, didnt know anything about steel selection @ the time but he was building race cars and welded up the diamondback frames i kept snapping. after that i started snapping off the crank arms. pretty cool that the same machinist narrowed the nine inch for my first car, he remembered the bike.
