keep_it_warm 128 Posted January 22 UniSeat (Berg Designs) The earliest advertisement that I have been able to locate is on Page 44 of the August, 1978 BMXA. The thing that stands out to me is: "7 SUPER COLORS" I wonder what all seven colors were? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keep_it_warm 128 Posted January 22 Cycle Pro Skinwall Snakebelly IMAGE #1: I was surprised to find this ad on page 44 of the June, 1978 BMXA. This tire was available earlier than I ever thought. Additionally, it seems that the skinwall came first! IMAGE #2: The earliest reference for a blackwall snakebelly is on page 6 of the August, 1979 BMXA 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well let's see: 1) black 2) blue 3) yellow 4) red 5) white are the only ones I can think of in the original lineup (or at least the most popular era with the rainbow Uni logo) - did white come later? Maybe 7 was typo? They later redesigned them with a silver UNI logo on the sides of the seats, like the Uni Turbo. The Turbo of course came in a bunch of other colors like green.
