This was my first "BMX" bike. I think I went through about two dozen pins in the crank. I had Cal Lite pads and Sears knock off Tuff Wheels with snake bellies in yellow. Brings back a lot of memories!

yeah, I burned through the crank pins too! good memories though....

Ah man i use to put bolts in as pins when i ran out of money to get pins i finely got my step dad to weld the cranx on both sides .The only thing that broke on mine was the cranx and peddals. I trailed and jumped every curb and ramp i could on mine and thats all that broke.

My youngest bro had one of these BITD, the EXACT same bike. They were department store bikes.

I remember we tried racing it, jumped a dirt ramp and the gooseneck loosened up, and the handlebars flew forward. They ride very stiff, NOT comfortable at all.

What a piece **. That's when he moved up to a Hutch Pro Raider in 1986.

You DO value your life, right?

I wouldn't advise it, NOT with THIS bike. lol

Nice bike! My first BMX also:) We all no its no Hutch Pro Raider;) It is what it is. I would love to find one.

Just stumbling on this now!! This was the first and only brand new complete bike I ever owned. After this baby it was build as you ride. I do remember the dreaded crank "skip" all too well. ...always started at the most inopportune times. Now I guess I have to look for one so I can complete my collection of every bike configuration I've ever owned. It's a cry for help.
