2002 Azusa

(JMC DARREL YOUNG RETRO)
#11 of 27 produced

I think i'm now the third owner of this ride after purchasing from oneluv1979 in August 2008. This bike is abolutely amazing and is considered a 'retro' build.  The frame & fork are based on the legendary JMC Darrell Young frame/ fork originally made in the mid 1980's. It was made by instigated by Todd Britton and constructed by Bill Ryan/Supercross as a limited run of 27 in 2002 with current geometry, 21.25' tt and 1 1/8" head tube. This particular frame features a custom clamp welded-on that is similar to original JMC's. You will even note the decals font and pad set is similar to JMC. Some guys have used JMC decals. Other features worth mentioning are the oval shape fork arms and flat oval shaped handlebar crossbar. Also note the very limited AZUSA engraved stem.
