CharleyGnarlyP290 38 Posted December 15, 2011 I was just looking around somewhere and saw a stem that looked like it was stamped with the old OS BMX wing logo. What is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thornton 0 Posted December 15, 2011 correct me if I am wrong what I understand is they where made by Norton when he owned this site they made regular and inverts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keep_it_warm 123 Posted December 15, 2011 Yes, this was PRE-Steve Brothers. Probably 03 or 04-ish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S.Brothers 1,006 Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah I think there are 04 and some stamped 05. They were engraved on the cap. I can't find any pics. They are marked retro items. I have one as a souvenir of the os-bmx days. As was mentioned in another thread a while back, there were likely unmarked ones made as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CharleyGnarlyP290 38 Posted December 15, 2011 Groovy. I never heard of it and was wondering what the deal was when I saw it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just..Me..Chillin' 84 Posted December 15, 2011 Jeff had Helix making'em for a short stint as another site chotchky - didn't go over too well with most us purist - very shortly after as expected and predicted .... It quickly tailspun outta control when it was said a select few were made unstamped for supposed "respectable n hardcore primere members" all of which I can thankfully say are no longer visible or even connected to the hobby and 80% of which I can say ended they're runs wrapped in scandal. Even Helix faded shortly after that whole debacle - he had a decent and honorable run till his one "as per the customer's request" mistake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian P 3 Posted December 17, 2011 this is one that i found at an event here in NJ, i grabbed it just to keep it out of circulation as it has no stampings on it anywhere, the bottom could easily be passed as something that it is not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
