Which bike is the bmx bus down on the site?

You know the one that eveyone has gotten a ride on!
The one that has been passed back and forth so much you cant even remember who had it first....

Pics would be nice!


IM looking for BEATUP, maybe not useable for you but useable sections of frames for me.

RL20II - Good Twin top tube section, the rest can be garbage.
ELF Double cross - Good rear section, the rest can be garbage.
ELF Double Butted - Good Down Tube section, the rest can be garbage.
Auburn - Front and rear section needed, from seat area back, rest can be garbage. 
GT Performer with S tube, Late 80s Early 90s - Need the S tube section so smashed TT or rear triangle is fine.

Re: Which bike is the bmx bus down on the site?

Maybe I went about this wrong?????????


Wouldnt it be cool to have bikes that members have passed around for whatever reason!?

I thought we could get a story going on each and how they looked when the previous owner owned it.

I'll start when I get my GT from DUG6...

Re: Which bike is the bmx bus down on the site?

tongue I didnt know that "bustdown" was a midwest thing.

Ive never built a midschool bike(v-brakes, 1-1/8 head, aluminum,) nor a 21 inch. Im probably going to go with a black F/F & Bars and then go black/white and gold the rest of the way.

Ill post pics of some ideas i have later.

Re: Which bike is the bmx bus down on the site?

Here is what im thinking for this particular build.
Ill probably do a gold seatclamp and I have one gold ukai hope that ill lace to some midschool white DK sealed hubs if I can find an other gold ukai hoop.
I think the green stem will look real good with the bit of green in the pads, not sure what color brake lever or grips to go with though and I dont have bars but I was thinking about some aluminum powerlite bars.
