It not very old, but here is my 1997 Redline Proline XL. I ride it once in a while and it is basically unchanged from the day I bought it except for the shimano dx brake. Does anyone know where I can get pads for it because the originals are faded badly and a source for stickers would be great since I removed them shortly after I got the bike to clean it up.

Im sure that a lot of you had one of these scooters or knew someone who had one. I got it for free many years ago.

After Robinsons, I always wanted a JMC as a kid.
One of the lads I grew up with used to race for them....

Another guy had a metallic blue Race INC with same satin finish "grey" Arayas

Here's a few things from the wardrobe....





This is the guy who used to own the shirt with Chuck Robinson- Jeff Parscale. I bought it from his dad along with the plate on my blue bike.

I will try and dig out all my old stuff back from when me and brother used to race. I rode a custom made GHP (Greg Hill Products) as I was only little and my brother rode a Patterson which was given to him from the factory. He wasn't 'sponsored' by them just good enough for them to give him frame to ride  Smiley Our parents still have an attic full of trophys and a couple of race jersey's too! It's mainly my brothers but I won a fair few trophys aswell  Grin

I still rode trails and skateparks until recently but I kinda just got lazy and haven't been for ages! I ride a Standard 250ox now which is uber nice to ride  Grin

Back in the late 60's and into the 70's when living in Tustin, our neighbor worked at O,Neil Park in the bike shop. he would bring home broken frames and fix them. Us kids got an idea to strip them down. Swinn bikes were big at the time. Al the frames were those. Got wheels with the most spokes in them, used a 10 speed seat, and some wide but low bars. Made some of the the first Bmx bikes. Found a dirt lot on Newport and it had a big hole in the middle of it. Well it worked out to be a cool BMX track for years to come. Just wish i had some old picts to share - only the story is left. Hey Rick if your out there you might remember.

Something you guys might like, from an ex collegue off mine;

Hello!

 

BMX Museum NL is ready to open her doors in February!

 

In this museum, see picture, in the south/centre of The Netherlands (close to Eindhoven) you'll find a lot of Old School BMX bikes, projects, helmets, racing wear, parts, movies and pictures from the eighties. You're always welcome to visit us.

 

The development of BMX Museum NL is a continuous process. If you have items available for us (sale/gift), please let us know.

 

More information concerning the opening hours of the museum on our website www.bmxmuseum.nl soon!

 

Best regards,

 

Mike Janssen

I must be old!! I don't have any photo's of my own, so I found these @ http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/ to support my generation.

These are the bikes we rode back in the mid 70's. I lived a couple miles from the "Little John Murphy" shop where they made one of the first straight tube frames. The first gen. frames were even lower profile than the one pictured. The LJM bike with motomags was almost identical to the bike I rode in 9th grade. I couldn't find any pictures of the mods we did to the schwinn frames before that, but basically we would cut the 2 small tubes off @ the seat post and add more brazing to the joints. It actually weakened the frame but it looked cool! Anyone else from this era?

Schwimmer.... Are you lurking here? Need some pics scanned? Smiley

Way back when............ Bill and I had a custom Cook Bros / Littlejohn sidehack. I worked at Peddlepower Cyclery and Bill and I raced for Steve Rink (Powerlite BMX) Now 28 years later I'm racing with my son and daughter at the same Orange Y BMX track that we helped start years ago. I'll try to find some pics, I know Bill has some. Here are a couple from this summer.
