Steve's bike is a real looker,huh? They don't get MUCH
nicer than this!
Originally there were only 3 Nomura Cruisers anodized
Blue by Wade's metal shop...there were 2 26" frames done
in Blue (NRC DG 011-now Polished;and NRC DG 029-Wade's
'still NOS' frame) and one of the 13 26-24's (NRC DG 046) was
also anodized Blue!
Steve's bike (NRC DG 019) was originally a Polished
frame owned & raced by Nomura Factory rider Kevin Nowak
of Michigan...so,not only is it 'very sharp-today',it has a
'race winning' past! GREAT combination!
Of the 45 26" frames built,only 13 are known to still
exist today,3 of these are NOS! The remaining 13 frames
were 'modified' and became the 'hybrid' 26-24's...of these,
only 5 are still known to exist!
Of the 525 Nomuras built,the Cruisers-all 3 sizes-are
the rarest...there were a total of 62 Cruiser frames built...
only 20 are 'confirmed' to exist today!
26" Cruisers...outdated,outmoded...but still cool!

Re: 1981 Nomura 26
Well i'm on board! not that i have one or can afford to get one now days but i mean
these are SICK! after 20 years after my first bmx,
its hard to remember everything that was out there back then. bless the museum for replacing lost memories
I am a PK RIPPER guy, so the innovative, hi tec, alloy look before its time
& was what made most other bikes look the same to me.
These are more rare than SEs & isn't this what the OM flyer should have looked like!
Plus I LOVE THE PURPLE ANO, I'M GOING TO DO SAME ANO ON MY YOUNGER DAUGHTERS PK
1st bmx= used 77' Ashtabula...sold to buy "HAULER"
2nd bmx= new 85' SE RACING Toby Henderson "HAULER"...stolen
3rd bmx= new 85' SE RACING "PK RIPPER"...sold when turned 16

Re: 1981 Nomura 26
sweet Nomura!!
JOKE;A GUY WALKS INTO THE BAR AND ORDERS 3 DOUBLE SHOTS OF TEQUILIA. AS SOON AS THE BARTENDER POURS THE SHOTS THE GUY INSTANTLY SLAMS THEM DOWN. THE BARTENDER SAYS"YOU SURE DRANK THOSE QUICK BUDDY" AND THE GUY SAYS"YOU WOULD TO IF YOU HAD WHAT I HAVE" THE BARTENDER TAKES A FEW STEPS BACKWARDS AND SAYS "WHAT DO YOU HAVE?" AND THE GUY SAYS"A BUCK FIFTY" PICK UP LINE: I MAY NOT BE THE BEST LOOKING GUY IN THIS BAR BUT I AM THE ONLY ONE TALKING TO YOU.
