Well, I picked it up yesterday. It needs some little elbow grease but I'm happy that I finally got one. Can anyone tell me the year based on the SN (it's in one of the pics)? Also, do the forks look bent? Thanks in advance....

Hey Br9knrun all 3 of the Boss's I have also look like the forks are bent but they are all the same slightly forward looking like yours. I wouldn't be doing any ghosty's on it, nice bike!

We got almost 3000 view to this post and no one wants to see boss come with a new school frame and or cecil johns bike/frame. thats funny!

ok all you s.o.b's out there im going to build a new school boss frame, fork. and bars as a prototype and see how many of you out there like it. euro bottom bracket and all. Darren (DCBMX) hooked me up with some extra parts to reverse engineer a boss. so lets see what happens. by the way im a certified welder so it will be high end.

How is the new bike coming along? Any photo's yet?

Hey Cecil Johns fan, thanks to you I am now also a fan!!! Very inspirational and charismatic guy by the looks of the Youtube links and the myspace page for him. I was sponsored by our local bike shop and there son was the importer of Boss (Tony Pemmer) into Australia so Boss is what we had and I loved it. So Boss was always in my blood and now I just wish I had met the late great Cecil Johns BITD.

Cheers

John

Does anyone know what year??

Well I'd say going off your serial number 87-88, I have seached long and hard for info on the serial numbers and I know when my bike was purchased roughly. I am of the opinion that the letter in the serial number is the indicator for the year. I may be wrong but that's all i can come up with.

Here is a link to mine (you may need to look up midschool bikes then 87-88 Boss Survivor as I tried the link and it doesn't work properly)
