The bikes that started it for me

I had a Scamp and a Bravo. Both in pink

But the bike I lusted after was

Started racing in 84 on a Thrasher before my parents got me a Predator

And then raced a Limo for the remainder of my BMX time

Had a stripped down beat Raleigh Rampar. Was considering doing an old shockbike. Heavy.

This is beautifully well done! My kind of ride

This looks a lot like my bike with Skyways. Ran with a snowflake sprocket tho. Had a set of Arayas to go with. Mongoose Cali

Matti likes mags. Matti likes cromo.

Being an eighties punk, Matti is amused by CRMO Mags

Being an eighties skater, Matti is amused by Thrasher Mag

I had a buddy that raced one of these all through the 80's. Never upgraded a thing. It just wouldn't die. I didn't appreciate it back then

Missed opportunity for a cro-magnon pun

 

[Captain Awesome]

Missed opportunity for a cro-mags reference

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Dude, that was a pun. Maybe not obvious, they were pretty underground

Cap got it!

Not as underground as the European early modern humans! Get it.

RE: the pun, I actually meant it was a missed opportunity on the part of Schwinn by calling it CR MO Mag instead of a Cro-Mag. I know you'd never miss an opportunity for a dad joke.

Hey, I spent thirty something years not making dad jokes. Before Jrs T came, I was just making bad jokes.
