this looks like J. Silva's old cruiser frame.

MAN!  I cannot sell this frame!  This frame has the best geometry its like a mini cruiser but only a big boy bike!  The other OS Cruisers have funky tall seat stays like road bikes.  This baby is low and long like a JMC or Free Agent.  So far I have Red & gold Bullseye Hubs, with Red and gold ano'd spokes and first Gen. Bullseye cranks freshly powdered in bright orange, funky I know, but a bit different it will be.  I also have a set of mint Hutch pedals and cages that I bought of a BMX Badd Ass and hall of famer Cindy Davis.   The pedals are outside a bit of the era but they look so bad ass mounted on the Bullseye's because the pedal boss is the same diameter as the pedal spindal.  I was going to go with Redline's or Profile's but those cranks are far heavier and I already had the Bullseye's so I figured I would save money, time and wieght and be a little unique.  I am trying to get a UNI pro Hammer head seat to keep this sucker light and  I have always liked UNI's anyway.  So far this project has been a nightmare but I will not give up!  I need new cups for my Bullseye BB as well.

Jeff moved to Sacramento around the time he turned 13, like most of us on the Nomura team, who did not own a Cruiser, we borrowed someone else's (I usually ended up on Joe Discipulo's) I remember Jeff getting a Criuser around the time he moved to Sac.

Regardless of who owned it before, hold on to it it is a real treasure of a bicycle. I still have my 20" and would love to get any of the 3 Cruiser versions.

really nice 26" bigger head tube than most.so shiney I can't see.

I hate you, just kidding, no wait, yes I do! Lucky MoFo! Sweet bike.

'he couldn't sell it after all!'

      Now in the collection of Martin Pimental of Hong Kong!
Marty also has 2 20" Nomuras...a GREAT-looking Polished one,
and an 'absolutely stunning' Candy Red steel one!

I guess the $$$ did the talking and the F/F did the walking

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MUCH HE MUST HAVE SOLD THIS BIKE FOR I MEAN PERSONALLY I COULDNT HAVE PARTED WITH IT DUE TO ITS RARITY AND THE HISTORY BEHIND IT BUT MONEY IS TIGHT THESE DAYS AND MAYBE HE HAD TO SACRIFICE IT FOR THE COMMON GOOD,I ON THE OTHER HAND WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM PRY IT OUT OF MY DEAD HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL. FUG IT I GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend here in Las Vegas owns serial # NRC DG 006. It is red, complete, and still has its original unstamped Landing Gear forks. The color has faded to a pink and the decals are a little rough. He wants to have it re-anodized and replace the decals, but only by a top notch plater. The decals will probably be the difficult part to find. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
