Long project on this one. Been in an almost finished fashion for awhile but not quite what I wanted. Found an Atom front hub finally and it's set for show at the Society event.


Original one: Picture taken 1974 I believe

If you are maybe wondering why he rode a girls bike? When you ride like this, eventually you run out of boys Stingrays and then you resort to whatever is laying around.

Getting air like that on a girls bike is impressive. Also, the pick of Mel doing a table top pre-dates when I thought people started doing that trick by several years. It's great to see this replica built as another reminder of our early BMX history. :OSThumbsUpPeace[1]:
