#352624 Hi guys,
I was into bmx as a kid growing up and about 10years ago I sold my mongoose to make way for car parts :) I decided to get back into the bmx scene but not like the youngsters are running around with today,I wanted the old school bike. I managed to find this 30year old frame and ever since I've completed it,its being a blast. Plus I leave all the kids 10years younger than me with new bikes in the dust hehe


I just completed my first old school bmx restoration project
and wanted to share the process and how it currently sits

#352688 Teal_dx, thanks bro and sorry for you not having yours anymore. If it make you feel any better my mom through my collection of 1980s Street Machine magazines away lol.

94civicmtn, thanks bro. Would really like to see pics of that predator you spoke of:). I know what you mean bro its difficult to find time. I try and ride like twice a week. There's a wetland and field close to my house so I don't have a excuse lol
