1972 Rick's Bike Shop Special
1972 Rick's Bike Shop Special
The roots of BMX
72 or early 73. While all the early dinosaurs were riding modified Stingrays, Rick Twomey came out with a radical new design which changed BMX. A design that is still with us this day. The bike was raced by many of the icons of the sports such as Dave Clinton, John Palfreyman, Thom Lund and Doug Takahashi
The frame has been living at Rick Twomey's house for 35 years and he gave me the honor of restoring it to it's old glory
BMX bikes were meant to be ridden, even if that riding is only in your mind as you admire your latest build
