1979 DG Racer
1979 DG Racer
1979 DG Racer (possibly a team frame)? THIS BIKE IS SOLD!
I bought this frame from a member here on the Museum. I was told it was a 79, so that is what I'm going with. When I was about 14 (1978) i had a Schwinn Scrambler. A couple of brothers (one a year older and one two years younger) raced on very LOUD yellow bmx bikes. They were DG. I remember the first time I saw one because you could see it from across the race track. Anyway, these were pretty hard to come by in the late 70's, so I never had one, until now. Chip Bowers (C4Labs) powder coated the frame DG yellow. I had him polish and powder the headset, stem, cranks, hubs, and rims translucent blue. THEY LOOK AWESOME! As always, I had a great time building this bike. Enjoy and thanks for looking!

I have to thank Chip Bowers at C4Labs. He powdered the frame yellow. Then he powdered the headset, stem, cranks, rims and hubs translucent blue to give the effect of anodized aluminum. THANKS MY FRIEND!!

I don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to my girlfriend. But first, I'd
probably burn my clothes....

Re: 1979 DG Racer
Wow that brings back memories! When I was racing us normal guys couldn't afford a DG.
That was just a bike we would drool over beautiful.
