1985 Schwinn Predator Black Shadow
1985 Schwinn Predator Black Shadow
This was my bike when I raced for Schwinn in 1985. When I got sponsored by Titan I gave this to my cousin. 22 years later he had it still hanging in his parents garage and gave it back to me.

No, I do not. What year did he race for them. I got out of racing in 1987.

Re: 1985 Schwinn Predator Black Shadow
Glad you got you ride back. There is a Guy here in KC that wants one of those things real bad. I finally got my Sting and Mark 1 on the site. The Sting is what I have left from My Days on Schwinn. (National Team) Never did make the R & D Team. The Mark was my first diamond shape race bike. My First one was a Yamaha sock bike.
Catch ya later.

Re: 1985 Schwinn Predator Black Shadow
Jason, if you find decals please scan them would ya? I will do the same if I find a set. I just bought a frame and fork myself.
I would be definitely interested in some closeups of the decals on your bike!

BMX MUSEUM is not a contest to see who has more bmx knowledge. It's a place to share it.

Re: 1985 Schwinn Predator Black Shadow
I used to have this frame in 21". it was surprisingly lighter weight then you would think and strong. I used to rock that same chain ring on it too. Then it got stolen. One of favs for sure.
You got it set up real nice here! Salut
