This X24R should be in my hot little hands by Tuesday! Its going to be a resto so if anyones got parts dont Bogart them!

I have a frame pad you can have. Not in the best of shape, but it is original. If you want it just pm me with an offer (just a few dollars and postage coverage). If not, no problem!

Best of luck finding parts. If I see anything I'll let you know. Be sure to go with the original ACS stem.

You can find the acs stem for it on ebay.When I was looking they where not to much money.

Incase you guys haven't seen it yet, I started a department store bike build off. If you have one you are restoring, enter it! It must be era correct and not finished prior to the start of the contest. Looking for at least 3 cruisers to make a class for them too!

This past weekend I took new pics of several of my bikes and this happend to be one of them. This thing looks to be ALL OG down to the Olympic sponsor decals. oh and this thing is a TANK!

sweet Team Murray...never get tired of seeing those

Same Here! Very

I have a lot of questions regarding Murray builds... I'm going to try to absorb some more info before asking though.

When I was a kid I had some sort of banana seat Dallas Cowboys bike. Then for my 12th birthday, while visiting my grandparents in Denver, they took me to a store and let me pick out a bike.  I walked out with a red X20 (looked very much like the blue one in the first post of this thread, except red!). My old brain can't recall details now... I swear it was an X20c, but there are some clues that make me think maybe it was an X20r.

I recently acquired an X20r F/F from Mirage, and I hope to recreate as closely as possible, my first "real" bike from my childhood.  I'll need some help getting there though, determining what components are correct and all that... so many question sto come, I'm sure!

Here's the Red Team Murray that you're referring to. It's called a X20Z:   http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/murray/57082

Thanks for the tip, but... nope, not the z. My F/F was chrome. Definitely didn't have the "Track Certified" sticker on it either.
Like I said, looked identical to the blue '82 (here: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/murray/34813), except all the components were red instead of blue.  Same seat, stem, chainwheel, pedals, grips, etc.   

I'm going to call my parents and see if they have any old photos floating around a photo album or anything!

I picked up this frame and fork off craigslist for $10...






She's got some rust...would an OA bath be the way to go??
Also thinking about doing an original resto.....if anyone has any of the parts i would need please hit me up. This thread is awesome!!!! I had a Team Murray when i was a kid but it was a lower model....always wanted the x20r or x20c. This will be my first build!! Thanks,
