1976 Ashtabula
1976 Ashtabula
76'Ashtabula in fire engine red! Red was a rare color on this bike. Most Ashtabulas I've seen where either black or silver.
75' Ashtabula with same named components, Gooseneck, forks and cranks! Frame was OG red then bombed red to stop rust? Lot's of finger prints and rust showing so I sandblasted and powdered the frame red.
Lester mags and cheng knobbies. Rip saw sprocket and box bars along with correct seat post and clamp. Troxel sadlle added to match the time period! Waffle grips too!
Free your mind and your ass will follow!

Yuppers... That's totally badass! Great job! 
A "Squonk" is like a Mongoose only much harder to find...

Re: 1976 Ashtabula
Very old school cool!
I'm looking for the following frames, frame & forks or completes by BMX products:
MotoTrac (nickle or chrome), Racer-X or a Super-X (with the double gussets preferred).
Thanks
I'm also johnng23604 at "Retro-goose", "VintageBMX" & "RADbmx"

Re: 1976 Ashtabula
I started with a Huffy Pro Thunder back on 12-25-79. My second frame was the Ashtubula frame and fork. Used my Huffy fork.... Wow, has that started something! The memories... huh?
