1978 Roger DeCoster
1978 Roger DeCoster
Roger Decoster in original yellow paint and Decoster forks (undrilled).
Thanks Ken! ![]()
Here's my current baby and I was going to be swapping out parts from the other '78 nickle Decoster (non-original one) to build this one.
But I'm not going to have to as I have all the parts needed.
So I'm in the process of going to install the following parts:
Frame: Roger Decoster, original yellow frame
Forks: Decoster team forks
Stickers: Re-pops from BMXproducts
Cranks: Ashtubala style cranks, dated '79
Sprocket: 3 arrows stamped
BB Hardware: Schwinn stamped
Pedals: Rat trap style
Headset: Schwinn stamped
Goose neck: Ashtubala style
Handle bars: Schwinn square box type
Grips: Original Schwinn
Seat post: generic, unstamped
Seat clamp: plain, with "S" stamped bolt head
Seat: Messenger
Wheels: Schwinn stamped lester mags w/coaster brake '76 Bendix
Tires: Chin shin 20 x 2.25 knobbies
PADS: Crafted by Tommy D
I'm looking for the following frames, frame & forks or completes by BMX products:
MotoTrac (nickle or chrome), Racer-X or a Super-X (with the double gussets preferred).
Thanks

Yes it is, thanks.
I had to do some cleaning and waxing on it as it had some scuffs, stains and some black spray paint over spray on it.
But really wasn't that bad when I got it from KenC.
