1980 Cook Bros. Racing 26

Gary Cook personally delivered this frame and fork to Gary Erdman

1980 was the rage for 26" cruisers and this bike was originally owned by our famous BMX starter Gary Erdman.  Gary raced for Team Tremco a Minnesota based team which turned into Rondo, then Tahoe.

Kept the bike original but thought it would be neat to match up the CBR pit with the Cruiser at the Rockford event.  Decided to drop the Green and black for the traditional Blue, Chrome, and White of Cook Bros.

Everything is Cook Bros. and yes those are NOS Cycle Pro Snakebelly tires on NOS UKAI rims.

This bike was 2nd place for the Cruiser bike category at the 2009 Rockford Vintage gathering.
1st place and Best in Show at the 2009 Ottawa IL. gathering.
1st place Cruiser BMX Society 2009 online contest

Hope you enjoy another historical ride.
