    VINTAGE BICYCLE PHOTOS

    Hey Matti-- I know you posted this photo a little while back but I just ran across it... I recognized that the rider is actually Jeff Ward. He was a multi-time National Motocross champion in primarily the 1980's. He was also a Indy Race Car driver for a couple years as well as an Off Road Truck...

    Riding my 1980's Jamis Boss Cruiser on the Ocean City boardwalk- exactly 36 years later!! Same exact bike, same boardwalk that I rode it on when I was 18 years old. I had not ridden the bike since that summer of 1987. It sat in storage upon my return home that summer and was in my...

    My 1980's Beach Cruiser... ID Help Needed

    I keep adding to my own thread that I started because I had a cool story to add relating to the same bike that the Rat Rod Bike Forum members have helped me to identify as a Jamis Boss Cruiser. As I stated in my initial post- I got my Boss Cryuiser bike when I was 18 in 1987 back in Ocean City...

    My 1980's Beach Cruiser... ID Help Needed

    Thanks Wildcat !! And Yes- I think you nailed it too- as being Jamis Boss cruiser. It matches up with so many other examples that I've seen now that I had a Brand/model to do a comparison search with. The dead giveaway besides the frame seem to be the standard issue "Cheeks" seat- which mine...

    My 1980's Beach Cruiser... ID Help Needed

    This is the very same cruiser that I rode around Ocean City MD back in the summer of 1987. I've had it all these years and never had a clue who made it, as I purchased it used ($25) without any badging on it that I can ever recall. I'd love to restore it- possibly to original condition if I can...

    Hi Everyone- I'm Chris and just joined this really cool looking community! My life has revolved around bicycles and mostly- motorcycles- but in the last year I've had a big spark towards bicycling. As a kid- I jumped my Huffy Thunder Road over ramps, sandboxes, neighborhood kids and even some...
