I was always a fan of the Boss cruiser, since its a loopy. Jamis had a sweet BMX in the 80s freestyle also.

Your telling me. holy crap cook brothers might as well just name your price right now. Thats a 12k bike there. no joke.

Not around here.. Still nothing in the Big W, but marketplace, craigslist, letgo, ebay local are still in short supply of quality bikes for descent prices.

Cali - 200-400. Rest of the USA 300-600 At least thats the range I see.. Im in a few dyno groups and those are my main collection focus. D stamped coasters are my favorite frame all time. Im interested in everyone one that I can find local enough to get. I have a 95 coaster, 04 and 06...

Klunkers generally ran drum brake setups, and bombers were coaster or no brakes as far as I know.

The Covid bike tax is real. As a seller, you are mi$$ing out. As far as danger.. I personally am not too concerned as I really don't touch anything other than money or a bike and I keep sanitizer in my car/home and roll with a ...... steampunk'ed out facemask with active filters and respirators.

Nothing a bit of red chrome vinyl and knife can't help.

Had these laying around. Think they have that 80s vibe. A little chewed up. I'll fix them up...

Is china warm?

I never liked full suspension. But 80s was so odd. lots of bicycles in the early to mid 80s kinda genre bending. Yeah, this is General is definately a strandie. A true BMX will have horizontal rear drop outs and straight front forks. An MTB generally has a more slack head tube, cruiser type...

Well, heres my new general! 26" bmx cruiser! I never saw one. It was poorly labeled and in the middle of nowhere. But I LOVE loop tails, and to find a 26" bmx 80s looptail for what I did makes me happy. General Catalina plus 6 6 speed index shifters, sumo wheels. I got a sram/sachs p5 interal...

I dunno much about general, but I am going to look at one of their frames here in abit. Seems like they were a short lived company?

What I like, and is not mentioned if you don't read between the lines, is that up till WW2, more than half the bikes in the US were made here in my home state of Ohio.
