1983 Cook Bros Racing 26" Cruiser Rare Canti-brakes - BMXmuseum.com

This was one bike I thought I’d never complete.  I picked up the F/F last year to round out my Cook cruiser collection.  What attracted me to this particular Cook Bros were the cantilever brake mounts, condition and original paint.  The other point of attraction was the great match that it would make with my Cook pedals.  With a lot consideration, the parts group was painstakingly tracked down.  To my surprise this is now one of my favorite bikes and probably one of the rarest 26” Cook cruisers out there.
