FOXY MOXIE - FINISHED!!!!

[Rat Rod]

NOS 70s BMX goodness ready to be built up after hanging in an LBS for 36 years. :mrgreen:

Here's the wheel and tire combo that's going on this beast...

Should look nice parked next to it's ugly older cousin when it's done. :lol:

You need to open a museum.

Re: FOXY MOXIE

Man...I have almost nothing compared to some of these collectors out there. :shock:

Check out this guy's collection before he sold the whole lot to another collector...

You need some MX-60's for it.

Re: FOXY MOXIE

I basically bought this frame specifically for the wheel set above.

To me it's about as close as you can get to looking like a real dirt bike.

Fork should be here this week...

Re: FOXY MOXIE

Are you going to repaint the fork?

Re: FOXY MOXIE

Nah...they left them raw back in the day.

Re: FOXY MOXIE

Just curious what do those Ashtabula forks run price wise? I know where a few are.

 

[Rat Rod]

Re: FOXY MOXIE

Unstamped run anywhere from $40-$75.

Stamped run anywhere from $75 - $150.

It all depends who's selling them.

Re: FOXY MOXIE

holy cow, I haven't seen an Ashtabula fork in darn near forever. I was even thinking about them a couple of weeks ago and wondering if there were still any around. And you are correct Steve, they were always left natural.

Re: FOXY MOXIE

Those rims are AWESOME!!! :shock: I had a set back in the day, basically indestructable! Though I do recall finding a bent one on trash day, we did have some hardcore jumpers in my hood! -Adam

Here's the finished product...

Steve, that is really cool! Came out awesome!

But I have to wonder if the Moxie soda company sued them or if they even knew about it.

 

[Rat Rod]

That's a good question.

I know LRV only made bikes for 4 or 5 years. They started off with the Matthews name and then shifted over to using the LRV badge in 76.

That's some tasty classic BMX right there. It takes me back for sure

 

[wildrice]

Beautiful bike.
