did you see my post in Random Radness 2 weeks ago?

BMX's started surfacing while i was in high school,
i remember seeing my mates new bikes at school, the nickel plated Mongoose's with Motormags wheels, and a Hutch and then a bit later the Malvern Star Supermax's

a couple of years after i left school, the Freestyle BMX came out,

i had a couple of Torkers about 8 years ago, just to play around on







and my old Haro




i had a 1980 mongoose for a while, with Skyway tuffs and Snakebellys, but sold that

next i got a rough Moosegoose,
and eventually fitted a Victa 2stroke lawn mower motor to it, then sold it for $80 at a garage sale.
no pics sorry.



and this was my newer Mongoose





and i have the bike that these NOS stickers are for too.
it is sitting covered up in storage atm, and has been for 15 years

i used to ride my BMX to high school, 2 kms there, 2 kms home
then on the weekends i'd ride over to Belair National park, and be there riding around for hours at a time.
those seats were quite comfortable.

Had a redline 800p when i was younger, rode it everywhere unfortuantly my dad gave it to my cousins who destroyed it. Wish i had one now but prob cant afford one, however a year or so ago i did get another bmx from my childhood. The bike i had before the redline, the blue devil. It was a kmart knock off of the goose, they used to have the yellow,red and blue devils. They yellow was the cheapest, then red and blue from memory with each one slightly better than the last spec wise. Was going to paint it when i got it but attacked it with thinners and got off most of the dodgy spraycan paint job someone had at some stage, i like the survivor look more anyway, not much to look at but it owes me 80 bucks maybe, have swapped out a few pieces since(brake,lever,cable,pedals) but i don't really have the time to ride it, saving it for when the kids are a bit older

hahah snakebelly's, how weird were they! I do see some PK rippers around but they have that crack in the frame, you can buy new ones but it just aint the same. Lovin' those stickers, wow.

Yes Kashimax. that's the one, coooool. So the late model Mongooses didnt have that gusset in the frame ey?

Remember Redlines? With those fat ass tubes?

Nostalgic as right now, going to ebay to see whats around

^^^^^^^WOW!

 

[Georgalis]

Motodevo that thing is sweet !

 

[ROLLAS13]

This Is my sad bmx lol

Ill be ripping it down tomorrow to begin the restoration

 

[ROLLAS13]

What invloved in. Taking the pedal crank apart? Its not a full major, things popping out every where?

 

[motodevo]

That is sweet, pulling out the cranks is pretty simple, there will prob be loose ball bearings but thats it. What are your plans for it, that frame would prob come up pretty good with a Oxalic Acid bath and a bit of a polish

 

[ROLLAS13]

Thanks motodevo! Im going to get the frame welded properly where its cracked then get it re-chromed. Get the rims and hubs anodized and respoked. Just make it look like it came off the shelf.
