Re: Are Cook Brothers really that rare :)
Sometimes rare is used to often! Tons of bike people call rare and fetch all the cash! I have three bmx bikes that there is less than ten out there and there not worth much! Don't get it???
In Colorado we ride!!! all bmx stuff rules!

Re: Are Cook Brothers really that rare :)
24 and 26 cruisers are pretty rare,i saw lots of 20's bitd in So Cal,i remember the main guy who raced a Cook Bros 26 Jeff Gingrich[not sure on the spelling]he was one of the first top 26 racers bitd and raced with his elbows out so you could not pass,so i think that is why those cruiser bars are so wide,i think in 80 or 81 they made everyone cut there bars down to 29 inches or less,maybe because of Jeff.
