Re: Pretty cool Takara score!
I remember takaras. Bike store complete, entry level, early racers. I'd guess the frame is a 78 - 79. I'm not expert. Other parts look nearer.

Re: Pretty cool Takara score!
the first thing i thought was Mongoose knock off, i did some research and ya theyre a low end bike, but being like 40 years, its in pretty good shape. My girlfriend claimed it as her own and wants to help with the build. i thought that was pretty cool

Matt , as I told you before, any girlfriend who actually wants a old school bmx bike AND wants to restore one is a keeper!!!!! You need to marry her lol!!!!! Your (i mean her) tAkara is awesome. All my wife does is sell my parts on fleabay!!!!!! I remember getting the pics of the takara via text when you were at the swap meet...you were psyched!!

Build it, Ride it and Break it. That what it was made for.

Re: Pretty cool Takara score!
Nice! Most Takaras in the USA are going to be 79-82.
These might have been marketed as entry level, but mine bitd outlasted every other bike on the block... until it was stolen.
Always looking for "t" gusset Takaras- Frames, frame sets, or completes. Also any Odyssey 2000 brakes/parts(the cross-drilled ones)-Sets, orphan handles and calipers, just about anything.

Re: Pretty cool Takara score!
That is a neat bike. Dirt bike, like my cronies and I had!
Looking for GT Performer forks - maybe. Lemme know what you have!
V-bars, knobby tires, and chain guards - Oh, yeah!
