1982 Boss 24"

1982 Boss 24"

This would not be considered a show bike, but damn close.

I have two nephews who like to ride bikes. Being that I am 36 years old and have kept three of the four bikes I used to race, (my JMC got stolen) I decided to rebuild my bikes for the boys to ride. They just don't make them like they used to. I have used all of my original parts. I did not buy NOS parts to make a show build. I think these bikes should still be ridden. Anyway, here is a list of the parts: BOSS frame & fork (TEAM MODEL), BOSS cranks and bottom bracket (185mm), BOSS spider, BOSS cruiser bars, A'ME tri grips, original (1st generation) PHIL WOOD hubs (no rust), ARAYA 7X rims, DIA COMPE MX 1000 brakes, SKYWAY tuff brake pads, DK square corner stem and single pinch seat post clamp, GT EPOCH BMX (not freestyle) headset and SST dirt skirt. SHIMANO pd-mx15 pedals. If I have forgotten to list any parts, let me know. Otherwise I hope you oldtimers like me enjoy my restoration project.

A true classic!
Doesnt get much better than that!! WOW! and itsa rider
american craftmenship thru and thru, nice good on "keeping it real"
I have to agree, much better quality the most modern bikes!
that thing almost belongs in a museum! the bmxmuseum.


Dream like you will Live forever, Live like you will die tomorrow!
If it gets really bad, GO FOR A  RIDE!
Still trying to get all my bikes in the bmxmuseum[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2660/3981871139_da9b0e8643.jpg[/img][img]http://www.mangosauce.com/images/ms/ms_waving_cat.gif[/img]
