1992 Rocket

The only Rocket in the Museum!

I guess this thing is pretty rare, anyone know how many were made? How about nailing down the year of this one? Serial # is 421543. Powerlite fork and spider. Unknown bars, seat post & clamp. GT neck, grips, seat and pedals. Odyssey Pit bull brake and Excalibur crank w/Dynatron BB. Chang star levers. Spent $100 worth of time on the $2 Skyways. I have some sweet NOS Ukais that may go on it.

Wow shocked it is the only Rocket. They had some nice bikes and a great team. Was big mainly in the southeast though, since they were based in Florida. Look thru the old magazines and NBL papers you'll find lots of Rocket racers. Only remember them having Red, White and Black uniforms. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm hooked on cruisers right now, love the way they ride. Love to see some pics, and hit me up if its ever on the block.

I have a black Rocket Cruiser Frame and fork as well - I would like to get it built up before summer - funds are limited though

i grew up racing in florida, st.cloud, orlando, and bithlo mostly. i remember rocket being big in the 90's at least in my area. my brother had a yellow aluminum one with red stickers, i can post a pic soon.

also i am pretty sure the frames were on the clearence section of dans comp for a while. check an old bmx plus seems like 1996-97 or so.

I have the same rocket frame and fork. 20" as posted only no stickers.
I will post pix of mine when I put a good wheel set on it and find some cranks.
