1981 Team Murray - BMXmuseum.com

Why would I do this? Because I could! See, the Murray frames have a headtube with a 34mm inside dimension. The same dimension as an 1 1/8" threadless forked frame and standard cups. This is the same frame as my other posting. The parts are all leftover and reused items from the garage. The gearing needs a 9T - 3/8" hub, displayed with a 25-15T setup. Just thought it would be fun to build a newer Trail/Park bike out of an old school frame. I did use some other old school parts like the slammed quilted rail seat and Odyssey clamp, the 1-piece cranks and BB, and the Araya hoops. This "FrankenMurray" build includes:
