1976 Peddlepower
1976 Peddlepower
SOLD
OG finish 1976 Peddlepower 
I handle sales and marketing at True Torch. We have almost 40 years experience fabricating BMX bikes. We do custom builds and repairs but our overhead is not paid via BMX. We wish it were but the mundane welding and fabricating jobs must come first.
Personally, I'm a total Peddlepower and early Powerlite junkie. Always looking for '83 and older Peddlepower and Powerlite parts. I need 24" & 26" Powerlite forks.

That is awesome. Almost had my hands on a blue and a black one a couple of years ago. Love the PeddelPower headtube decal.

I've got one set of the first gen Powerlite/ Peddlepower forks that have 1" forks legs for race. I actually think my original loaner bike had Red Line forks which were proven very strong. I think they came out with the 7/8" legs in '78. I've got lots of them, although I might actually be short a couple to complete my frames. I've got several more frames and bikes to list. All Powerlite and Peddlepower '83 and older.

Re: 1976 Peddlepower
Just logged back on, and this popped up. I'm a freestyle fan all day long, but these really caught my eye...

Re: 1976 Peddlepower
Man, that is very impressive. I always loved the older powerlites, I am a big fan of the bars too, my favorite. I run them on every bike I am actually going to ride. Great collection and history, Great to see.
