1988 Ozone Method O3

This is the bike i bought from HUDSON Feb 09.
It is a bone stock original OZONE Method O3
The same bike i received on my 10th birthday!!

The original was stolen from my backyard around 92-93ish
but this one is in better condition, i rode the Poop out of mine!!!
the only things changed are:
The Tires k-55(i don't want to kill the o.g's, they are very rare! kenda k154's)
the brake cables (clear and rusty!) now have diacompe 88 dated clear cables nos
and the steel matte finished disc, i never liked mine, added an oddy disc w/ removed painted logo
seatpost, i added a chrome layback GT cromo
you all need to understand that this was the bike that got me started, alot of people now are into these, but back in the day i was like a superstar, and i really didn't appreciate it, but this is my second chance imma ride this (of course), but i'm also gonna baby it!

Awesome find,I love those bikes that have particular meaning for us. As much as I love the PFTs and the Team Masters, in my world back then I would have never been able to afford bikes like that. This is more like what I would have owned. Glad you got your childhood bike back.

Looks good, I'm glad you finally got the OZONE you been looking for. Let's ride!

Awesome bike.

Sweet bike Marty! Vey nice. Happy that you found you're bike you always wanted. What kind of Rotor is on it? Never seen one that looks like that. Doesn't look like your traditional ACS?

Glad it found the right owner....every once in a while the right bike gets into the hands of the right person...this is one of those cases. Enjoy.

This is the first Ozone I've seen. Very sweet! Like Hudson said, it's always cool to see a bike go to someone who WANTS it. Not for parts or just to have. Long Live Twin Top Tubes!

well im pretty much done w/ the fresh-up, got some dated 88 diacompe cables, an oddy cd and greased it all up.

should i ditch the reflectors?

tigerman_48 · 2009-04-09 9:44pm

Uh... let me think.... Yeah, ditch 'em!

Awesome ride man. I remember my brother had bars like that on a Cycle Pro he had. Teeth breakers for freestyle but still very nice and solid.

pix didn't do the bike justice, here's the caseloko treatment.............

I've seen you ride this bike so many times, but after having it at my house and taking pics of it, I know why It has so much sentimental value for you... that thing is SWEET!!
