The return of the SCHWINN STING
larsvegas43 replied to TrulyOdd's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Totally unnecessary reissue of an uninteresting bike in the first place. If it would be hi-end manufactured like the original late 70s Sting with a distinct modern twist I'd might understand but this is just a sad waste of resources. -
Heads up. Fake JMC seat posts are now a thing.

I was curious about the price but the link didn't work anymore. $450? Pfft, get outta here. -

At least they look like as if they would have never made it past JMC's quality control. But with that said, fucked up it is in any case. -
Jeff Bottema sells all rights to Race Inc
larsvegas43 replied to Brian Hays's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Well, it looks like Jeff at least had a chance to work out a deal with the new Race Inc management. Whereas it seems that the Cooks takeover is a different situation with the old rights owner not involved so far. -
Jeff Bottema sells all rights to Race Inc
larsvegas43 replied to Brian Hays's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
And then this happened on the "other" site: Hey Guys, Jack Witmer Here. This guy claiming that he has acquired the rights to the Cook Bros. Racing brand is TOTAL BULL SH*T!!! I have have not licensed Cook Bros. Racing to this DOUCHE BAG, nor would I to any other foreigner! Cook Bros. Racing is an AMERICAN company, and always will be! This KOOK is a 100% total scammer FAKE! Just look at the name of his film company: Real by Fake Marc Côté, President 1479 Rue Ottawa, Montréal Quebec, Canada, H3C 1S9 Telephone: 514-846-8439 Website: https://fake-digital-entertainment.com/ Email: mcote@fake-studio.com So could you all please email or call him and express your feeling about his venture into the BMX business! Thanks in advance! -Jack -

Besides Bottema, it looks like Race Inc bought the rights to Cook Bros Racing as well. https://www.raceincbmx.com/collections/cookbros -
Julian Molina, one legged BMX rider
larsvegas43 replied to TrulyOdd's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
First time I saw this guy was in a French BMX magazine back in 2014 or so. Since then, I felt the need to watch whatever I could find about him. His degree of commitment is a fucking humbling experience to witness. -
COMPLETE PICK-UP: 1981 Schwinn Sting
larsvegas43 replied to keep_it_warm's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Beautiful little Sting you got there with some hi-end parts to boot. I especially like how the red/black tire combination works aesthetically on that bike, knowing that the rear is a replacement from back in the day. -
COMPLETE: 1982 Trackmaster Phantom
larsvegas43 replied to keep_it_warm's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
That bike is so much in its own league it's almost scary. Perfection. -
Linn Kastan working with REDLINE again
larsvegas43 replied to TrulyOdd's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Besides the obvious, I also would like to learn more about the non-BMX side of Red Line. -
Redline MX III year ID and Restoration advice.
larsvegas43 replied to variable's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Yes, do not restore or refinish this beautiful frame set. I'd say this is from '80 / ' 81, at least at that time Red Line offered a complete MX III. Besides the rear tire and grips it looks absolutely original to me. Take a look here in BMX Action or BMX Plus Red Line advertisements from '80 / '81 and you will get a proper idea on these bikes: http://oldschoolmags.com -
The movie is called Downhill Motion. One of my favorite 70s skate films.

That's a beautiful bike right there.
