Re: 1978 Patterson Sentry
Yep, the rarest Patterson frame ever made. Very nice.
I live for SE's, Race Inc's, and Nomuras
Sitting in my doublewide dreaming about owning a real Nomura instead of the seven imaginary ones I talk about and wishing everyone here didnt hate me so much.

Re: 1978 Patterson Sentry
I simply cannot believe I'm seeing these pictures; I had one of those back in 1979+.
My pop bought me the frame as a Christmas present, and we built it up from there. It eventually ended up with Mongoose forks, a blue Sugino Super Maxy crankset, Redline neck, Cook bros. bars and a blue fluted aluminum seatpost. I eventually replaced the ball-bearing/cage race type BB with a sealed unit; I want to say it was a Phil but I can't remember.
It had good rims (blue) of some decent brand with Shimano (I think) hubs. All my buddies thought I was crazy (and lame) to run a front brake on it but they piped-down once they rode it. Front brakes in school everywhere after that. I remember we had to hunt for a rear spindle long enough to cover that colossal rear-dropout spread.
The sad part is, I can't remember what the hell happened to it! I think I gave it to some neighbor kid when I was in high school. Hmm.

Re: 1978 Patterson Sentry
Oh yes, and gearing was 42 - 14. Pretty tall for BMX back then. Won a few more races with that extra leg.

Re: 1978 Patterson Sentry
