Thanks frizzbat.

I got the stickers off eBay last year. I have the seller's info. Shoot me an email and I'll give it to you.

Excellent job, done any tricks on it yet

Thanks. I did some bunny-hops in the parking lot until the bars moved. Those old goose necks just don't hold!

Get off that thing before you crush it!!!

bmxmatt · 2007-07-02 7:34pm

LOL. Yeah, I've got to put my old school bikes away and find a new school bike with tougher parts!

Love the decoster. I'm searching the globe for as we speak. I'm also doing my first build a 1979 Sting I have all the correct parts I'm just trying to clean the rims up real good without taking them apart. And I'm proud to say I have no idea how to do it!!!

bmxmatt · 2007-12-20 3:59pm

Thanks for the comments.

hb4dj - do you have any pictures of your bike? It would be cool to see it go together

afxcrazy - good luck with the Sting. Let me know if you need help with the wheels. I've rebuilt the guts of a few wheels.

Happy New Years everyone!!!

I took this one for a ride yesterday... It's one of the smoothest rides I own. Coaster brakes make for a simple, smooth ride!

Peace!

This is the bike that inspired me to build mine! I couldn't find the Museum entry for it for the longest time, then I found that all of the BMX Products bikes are in with the Mongoose's.

bmxmatt · 2008-12-28 11:49am

Hey Badmofo! Glad you found it again. I rode this the other day and I love it. This is probably the bike I would have owned as a kid. It's simple and wouldn't have cost too much back in the day. It's a great ride!!! Thanks!
