Hi guys, I have seen some avatars with bmx's in it and followed a few topics where some of you talk about your bmx... I have a 30 year old bmx myself, but it's nothing special and worth talking about. It's my baby from back in the days, a cheap frame i got from my nephew when he quit bmxing that i've upgraded with some goodie parts. But please show us your BMX porn right here. Please give us some of that robinson, kuwahara, gt, moongoose, pk ripper, hollywod hutch porn...  vintage 80ies skateboards are allowed too.  Dem |

I found this week my old gt "steps" don't know what the exact word is in english... you bolt these things on your fork and you can stand on it. you can close them if you don't use them. One of the guys in the opening scene in RAD have them too. A very common freestyle option in the us i suppose but here in "the flanders" I havn't seen them twice... |

We called in "pegs". I haven't seen "Rad" in a long, long time. I still have a couple old bikes. One's a Raliegh BMX and the other in a General freestyle. Fun stuff!

I can post a better picture some other time but I got this in '83 and following a fair few changes and a period of abandonment rebuilt it back to the way it came about 5 years ago.  I have a California also, but not sure what vintage. Mid-80s at least. I got it from a good friend of mine that got it new and raced it as a kid. It should soon be going back into service, since I always wanted to race BMX, and finally went to a track the other week with another friend. |

... I have a California also, but not sure what vintage. Mid-80s at least ... I think they were '82 - '85 or so but I'm not sure. Here's another shot of it. The grips and the pads are wrong, (a year or two later i think), it originally had studded ones but I couldn't find any of those. I want another one to do out the way mine ended up pre putting it back as it was. I had Skyways, CWs and a bunch of other more freestyle orientated stuff on it.  |

Looks good. I'll get some pics of mine when I get it out soon. There's not too much original on mine, I'm afraid. Can you still get the decals? Mine are missing. |

Can you still get the decals? Mine are missing.
I never found any repros that were correct and a lead on a buch of N.O.S. stuff including decals all turned out to be much later stuff. I rebuilt the bike a few years back and there may be more stuff available now? I haven't really been keeping track as I've been spending money on old Volkswagen shit instead! I'd be interested to know if you find anything. |

i still have a 24" frame here with a S&M saddle and a primo bar on it. but not much else. so if someone wants that PM me. i ride skateboards, so a swap for a longboard is an option, or old skate you have.
