1980 Huffy Pro Thunder

My first childhood BMX bike.

This was a $25 craigslist find. When I received this bike it was a rusted out piece of junk.

 

New – Prokchop KMC chain

New – Porkchop bottom bracket

Repro – Silver Rat Trap pedals

New – 175mm one piece crank. (Upgraded from the original 165mm crank).

NOS – Yellow Cobra Grips (this was a custom change I made back in the day)

NOS – Kashimax Aero Seat

New – Comp III (20” – 1.75”) Blue Tires

OG – Yellow Mag Rims (with a special thanks to giaro29)

 

In 1980 my father bought me this bike brand new from Gold Circle (Now known as Target). I know this was never a popular bike in its day, but having it back after 32 years is very cool. I truly enjoyed this bike and rode the hell out it, but in the end it was donated to the goodwill shortly after I bought my first car at 16. I never thought I would see one of these again, and then out of nowhere I stumble across one.
