Here is a Powerlite P61 I've owned since new. This was the top of the line model before the coqpits. I gave it away to a girlfriend's son and then later bought it back from him in trade for a spankin' new '09 Haro team issue.
The pic at top left was how I got it back (a mess), then straightened out a bit and cleaned with some parts replacement, and the last photo shows it totally rocked out with period correct, top of the line race parts, and this time in black. This rig is way light. I estimate it at 21 lbs though it still lacks final seat, post and brakes.
It's still missing air in the rear tire, brakes (which I have), a proper seatpost/ seat combo ( which I don't) and it needs to be tightened/ tuned and wiped down.
Chain ring actually owned by the great Harry Leary.

Dang CHIMI I didnt know your Schwinn Areostar had a Odyssey brake on it!Is there anyway you can get that brake back?HAHA.Your Sidewinder fits right into this thread.That bike rides so smooth.
THanks Oldschool!oldschoolcolo said:that sidewinder is great!!
Would love to find one of those or a king sting someday.
Heres a few of mine...nothing really special. I'm not into bmx anymore but it seems like I have a lot of them hanging around still
My Redline XXX. Built this from the frame up when I was 15, turned 16 and hung it up in the attic, haven't touched since. Mostly new parts.
All I have is crappy pics from 10 years ago
1984 Schwinn Predator Aerostar (For Sale)
1996 Dyno Blaze (For Sale)
80's Schwinn Phantom I built from just a frame w/ parts I had laying around
80's Ross Pirhana (For Sale)
80's Huffy Pro Thunder w/ Araya Rims (For Sale)
Powerlite P-19 (Frame and some parts for sale)
Ive got a really cool one up in the attic...its only a dept. store bike from the 80s but I've never seen another one, its been up there for over 10 years, I gotta get it down and build it up. I dont think I'd ever ride it but it would be a cool bike to have. I also have some others, like a newer Redline RL 340, couple of GT framesets, a royce union.

I wish you had the funds too! 8) I'd love to see it go to someone who would appreciate it. And yes it has Elf bars on it!
All I have left from that bike is the frame, bars, sprocket, and front rim/tire
