Brings back great memories! A friend in middle school had one like it (no whitewalls). Great find. :mrgreen:

Looks kinda cool with the whitewalls. And my favorite bike detail-----Looptail.

sweet hood bike!

Very nice Steve. I seen that on Dallas Craigslist (is it the same one)? And I knew you were going to get it lol. I love the frame structure. :mrgreen:

 

[Rat Rod]

Not sure what I got actually...might end up being a mutant of sorts.

It looks like the wheels and seat may not be original.

Waiting for the guys at the BMX Museum to respond.

Will probably end up parting iyt

I believe the rear wheel to be off of a Magna. The coaster brake writing looks familiar on mine.

 

[Markm]

Ive seen those rear hubs somewhere too...Next bikes maybe?...

 

[Rat Rod]

Yeah...that's what I figured. :roll:

Hopefully I can get my money back out of the other parts.

 

[Hooch]

you need to find a nice lil chic frameset for the wheelset

 

[Rat Rod]

BUH BYE :mrgreen:

Looks like you've got your money back so far lol.

 

[Rat Rod]

Yeah...and the good thing is that the guy who was reconditioning the bikes got the wheels mixed up with another set so I now have the original DB wheel set at home and they are clean.

 

[schwinnmesa]

Oh man that is awesome!

 

[hutch73]

i totally remember those bikes. the stickers are in great shape! the coolest part is the plate with the diamond in it behind the head tube.

 

[oldschoolcolo]

great job on ebay. it's amazing what people are willing to pay for the lowest quality frame! Holy cow!

 

[Markm]

whatcha gonna do with the DB wheels??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
