Hi BMX Society folks. I am new here, but not new to BMX.I am Aaron Stewart,from the Bay Area, California. Racer from the 70's, and always a bike collector. I just collect more now. Love BMX from its conception, to nowadays nostalgia. Here are a few of my bikes. Here is my 1978 20" Champion Squareback. Very close recreation of my racer from the late 70's-early80's.

Aaron thanks for sharing, very nice Champion. Welcome to the site, if you like 70s bikes, you dont have to go anywhere else.

Trying to figure the correct way to post multi-bikes within this post. Here is my 1981 24" Champion racer. This bike went thru massive reconstruction, and came out looking beautiful. It had bad rust and metal cancer, big black splotches, took weeks of soaking in acid tank to remove all the buildup. I went with a Nikel finish, to reclaim some of the 70's feeling. And all period correct parts, BOB Reedy pedals on 177.5 Campy arms. 1ST GEN Philwoods on 7x araya's. NOS Cooks slantline stem. Wide 29" Redline v-bars.

Cool, I get it... So, here is another of my favorite builds. Frame and fork is A 1981 Bassett 24" Racer. With Sunshine sealed hubs on Ukiah rims, Profile box cranks with Suntour Propedals. I cheated on this bike, stem is a Truetorch double clamp. So sue me!
