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

Did the bike in the movie have a purple mallet stem? I never caught that.

Yeah, mostly seen in the school gym room riding....
It appears sometimes "black". I think they were stripping-out stems ?!?
It was not on the bike in most the other scenes. There was more then one bike used...\
When I built this bike, I found a totally clear photo of the bike, and it was clearly a purple mallet GT Stem. I forget where I found that photo...

Re: 1985 Mongoose Expert
Someone please show me where a mallet is shown. Every shot even close to giving a hint of the stem is showing a clamp that's a top and bottom. SR is all I C...
