Hi, my name is Bryan Kooros and I'm from Wexford, PA. I want to post my collection of parts, bikes and other old school goodies that I've built up over the years.

My first post will be of my newest build. Looks to be a 1978 - 79 Laguna 3 bar cruiser. Some interesting things are the drops appear to be upside down, the headtube is flared but looks like it was designed that way and the brake bridge was not drilled. I had this repaired and powdered black. I am looking for decals.

My next bike is the same model bike I had BITD. A 1982 Redline MX-II. I got it special order from the LBS and still remember the day I got it. Mine was originally blue and gold but I went with red and white for this build. I gave this bike to my son for Christmas a few years back.

I always had a thing for Trickstar's so I was quick to build one of my own. I converted the rear wheel to a freecoaster. This is a 1985 US made Trickstar in Futureistic Black

Here is or was my Hutch Pro Racer which I recently parted with. I believe this was my lightest bike and very fun to have.

The PK Ripper was always my grail but the LBS didn't carry SE so I never had the opportunity to have one as a kid. This was the first bike in my collection and I had a great time gathering the goodies to complete this show bike and also got a bit pricey.

Here is another black and gold SE ride. This if my 1982 SE chomo Quadangle. I aquired this as a complete bike. Very comfy to cruise around on.

Here is my 1982 Kuwahara ET this is an all time favorite of mine. The frame and forks are original paint. I had some spare gold parts laying arount so I figured I'd go for it.

Heres some pics of the cool old school parts I've had my hands on over the years. First is my 2nd generation SST hubs. Second is a pair of Pofile Horseshoe pedals 9/16. Next is a Cycle Pro Shotgun seat. A double stamped Po Neck inverted stem. New FSA Afterburner cranks with BB and spindle kit. A custom DB Turbo Seatpost clamp.
