Mostly stock as I acquired it 6 years ago from my brother in law. Basically the only thing missing was the original wheel set that disappeared long ago. Sat in his possession untouched for about 20 years till he offered it to me. I ran it with black NOS Tuff II's until the Pro class Wheel set was found separate headed to the trash last year.   Front and rear Sidewalls had grooves from brake pad studs grinding into them. Spokes were rusted half way through, freewheel seized. Luckily they were straight with no hops and the bearings were smooth. I hand sanded/polished the sidewalls, lightly polished the 84' stamped SR hubs and re-laced them with NOS ASAHI plated spokes. Left the og Pro Class decals even though the lettering is gone. No replacement prism rim strips, just electrical tape.  Reissue tires because I ride it and don't mind killing them.

[the_derby_kid 35]

started with a bare frame and decided to build up an RS2 close to the catalog for 86.  made a few minor tweaks.  i left the seat post tube top chrome and didn't powder coat it so the post clamp wouldn't jack up the powder.  i also left the front gusset chrome so the haro chevron was nice and visible.  the group 1 stem is actually an anlun stem, but i snagged a raggedy Group 1 stem top, polished the heck out of it and mounted it.  i also went with 4130 chrome bars.  the UKAI rims really give it some bling and spin beautifully.  absolute blast to build.

1980 SCHWINN STING

 

BOTY is always nice but not my focus. We all know Schwinn put out some fairly mediocre bikes over the year but I wanted to take time to refresh a few peoples memory and focus on American made craftsmanship. Schwinn saw the emerging BMX market and set out to build the best race bike ever made. My heart feels like they achieved this goal for a year or two with the incredible "Schwinn Sting". Absolutely were before their time with the brazed welding, the tapering stays and forks. All I could do was dream about this bike as a kid and I put my heart and soul into a bike that honestly moved me. It took me years to get it right and wanted to build something that would honor all the early Schwinn Team racers (Eric Rupe, Donny Atherton, and Mike Poulson). I went with the Sugino 175 OPC cranks because they all rode them. I also wanted to find the grail parts that the team racers were given like NTKK snakebelly tires, EDCO headsets and Jaguar Champion 2 saddles. Well here's my dream bike that is frequently ridden and always cherished.

 

Frame/Forks/Bars: Schwinn "The Sting" (Original Sky Blue Paint)

Stem: Pro Neck 

Headset: EDCO Competition (team issued)

Seat Post Clamp: SunTour made "Schwinn" stamped 28.6mm

Seat Post: Strong brand aluminum 26.8 (rare silver ano)

Saddle: Jaguar Champion 2

Brakes: Dia Compe chrome MX1000/Dia Compe Pre Bent lever/uber rare Schwinn stamped brake cable/Skyway finned brake pads

Grips: Original A'Me bubble fonts

Cranks: Sugino 175mm OPC, Schwinn bottom bracket, Phil Wood 110bcd spider/Sugino 44T chainring

Chain: DID

Freewheel: Team Schwinn (loudest freewheel on the planet!)

Wheels: Gen1 Skyway graphites Tuff 2's with Campy axle set up

Tires: Front 2.125 NTKK Motocross "Schwinn Approved" Rear Schwinn Competition Scrambler 500X50 20X2.0 "Tractor Tires" Original Schwinn 20X2.125 and 20X2.0 inner tubes.

This is the bike that CWard organized a build here with alot of help and parts and money from you guys to surprise me with last Christmas. The postman showed up at my job with a big bike box on Christmas Eve last year with this bike from you guys and it will be with me till I take my last breath. I swapped out the refinished forks for these OG finish forks even up. Got the bubble font Tri's as a gift here when I was looking to buy some to switch out the new set and I swapped out the seat post clamp and traded CWard the Shimano brake for a Dia Comp setup because the Shimano lever didnt fit the curve of the short bars. I traded the camo pads that were on it to Jon for an OG finish and decal Race Inc seat post but it hasnt arrived yet and another member here gave me a SMOKING deal on these OG Race Inc pads.This bike is amazing to me. Reminds me DAILY of my true friends here. Thank you again to everyone involved.

1982 PATTERSON PRO w/ BOTTEMA FORK

 

This one was a long wait - then quick build. I blame this whole build on acquiring the fork years ago - having it sit around and taunt me with build ideas ranging from crazy freestyle - to 70s pool riding - to another old SE or mongoose.....  Then it hit me. I wanted an old Patterson!

Well, I waited around for about 2 years before finding this frame (very recently). In the meantime (waiting for the right frame to pop up) I had time to contemplate and acquire most of the parts that would work for this bike (good stuff from 81-84). For the past few months, I was ready to go. I made a trade deal for this frame, and once I unpacked the frame, the bike was built in about 2 hours.  I couldn't help myself.

 

Frame - 1982 Patterson Pro
Fork - Bottema Skatepark Fork (battered OG chrome - w/ replacement decals)
Bars - Redline "Stu Thompsen" STR V-Bars (OG chrome & decal - G'damn bars are comfy!)
Cranks - Redline 401 Flight Cranks (OG finish)
Sprocket - 44t Redline 401 Flight
Pedals - Shimano DX
Tires -  Raleigh Snakebellies (1.75") (Vintage issue, from around 83-84)
Rims - Chrome Araya 7x
Hubs - GT Sealed Race Hubs (early version, OG finish & decals)
Seatpost - MCS (OG chrome - w/ a Tange decal on it)
Seat - Elina
Seat Clamp - Dia Compe Hinged (yanked from an 84 Master)
Stem - 1st Gen Tufneck - Square Corner  (Pre-stamp - got it from Hector, Where's Aggy?)
Grips - AME Cam (I paid $75 for them years ago, I hope they're OG.)
Headset -  GT Epoch (84/85 og chrome — A damn Tange 300 won't fit in this frame. I tried. Grrrr!)
Caliper - Dia Compe MX 1000  (og of course)
Lever - Dia Compe Tech-3 (og of course)

Brake Pads - Dia Compe / old gummies

Cable Clamps - Dia-Compe (nos-og)

 

The original owner couldn't tell if the frame was rechromed or not, and I'm having trouble deciphering that as well. The age and details are all there — and if it was ever redone, it had to be decades ago, because of the sticker aging, and old tint to the chrome. Plus the dropout wear looks pretty legit. But to be completely honest. I own another 82 Patterson Long frame, and the factory chrome on most of the 82's I've seen didn't fare as well as this one. so i am not going to claim to know if it's factory finish or not.  The stckers definitely look like real issue decals though (apparent aging, and the screen printed on chrome, etc) even if I'm not sure when they were applied.  But again it's an aspect I'm not completely sure of. ( even though my eye is pretty keen on what aspects/quality to look for in reproductions). There's even an old Preston Petty decal on the seat mast that came on the frame - which adds a bit of nice of-the-era vibe...  Anyway... All the other finishes are original, Enjoy!

 

 

[cward 8]

Here is my 1980/81 Thruster Tri Power, which is the round brake bridge, non XL model. I purchased this frame/fork, which was already re powdered, but it is an original factory black frame. I stripped off the repro decals, and used OG decals that I acquired. The Thruster Power Bar's have also been refinished.

I've been wanting to do this build because a friend BITD had one, I always thought it was the coolest bike around.

1981 SE Racing Quadangle

 

 

This was one of the bikes I always wanted as a kid.  There was a guy in my town who had one similar to this who often brought it to our local arcade in the back of his truck to show off to all the kids hanging around outside.  Of course we all thought it was the coolest looking bike around.

 

I've been working on this bike for what seems like many years, tweaking it here and there to get it just right.  Someone on here called this the "Smokey and the Bandit" bike for the black and gold color combo it's got, which I think is awesome, because who didn't want that badass Trans Am with the gold on black eagle on the hood back in the late 70's and early 80's?

 

I got this frame off of ebay a few years back and it was in really rough shape with a horrible black spray can paint job and no stickers, so I had it re-painted and re-stickered.  I decided to go with graphite Z-rims because I was looking for an excuse to re-create some wheels like I had as a kid.  I still owe my buddy 1979Diamondback a few beers for helping me get these wheels built up and trued.  I know some people don't care for Z-rims, and I'm not a big fan, either, but I think they give this bike a nice look.

1981 Diamond Back “Johnny Johnson “ Senior Pro.

 

 

 

As many of you know, Johnny Johnson is the walking encyclopedia of BMX.  But some might not know he was a national level racer.  Doubling at a couple of nationals in the early 80s.

 

 

JJ killing it at the Diamondback summer nationals in 81

 

 

This is a looong term project between me and JJ. Started about 6-7 years ago when JJ spotted a beat up Senior Pro frame at my house.  Over the years, items were acquired and slowly built up for a future assembly.  JJ wanted it to be as close as his back in the 80s.

 

While his original went through many versions as most of our bikes did back then, it finally morphed into the finished product.  Here's a picture of an earlier version.

 

 

Some of you guys have seen it partially finished but I tweaked it to suit JJ’s taste and make it as close to his original one back in the 80s.

This again, is not a tribute bike, it is a bike built for a very good friend and proud to finally show it off.

1982 Skyway T/A  Re-creation

Earlier this year, I decided to re-create my 1982 Skyway T/A (original owner), as it was, from 1982-1985. Some, of the parts are, from the original 1980's build, while others were purchased to completely restore the bike. The good thing about owning a Skyway T/A, BITD, was that you could use either red, or blue parts. The local bike shop didn't always have the color I wanted, so I purchased what they had, in stock. As a kid, I never wanted to wait, for a special order to arrive.

 

 

Original Parts:

1982 Skyway T/A Frame & Fork, with Reproduction Decals (Original Owner, since 1982)
YST Headset  
Patent Pending Tuf-Neck Stem
Race Inc Cr-Mo Pro Bars
Cycle Pro Seat Post Clamp (Refinished)

Kashimax Aero Seat, with OG Guts, and Reproduction Decals
Sugino Diamond Back Crank & Bottom Bracket
MKS Diamond Back Pedals (Refinished)

Suzue High Flange Hubs (Originally steel, with Bendix freewheel kit. Then, re-laced to Sunshine Low Flange Rear)
