1982 east coast cycles dealers catalog. Has pretty much every top end BMX bike and part/accessory from '82. Great pictures, original parts listings and prices.



What's a value on something like this?

Pretty amazing find!

Like everything else vintage BMX it's probably worth its weight in gold.

How many pages does it have?

I started in bike shops, 1982ishh, not that I saw everything....
But don't recall an "east coast," supplier.
Some of the bikes in your catalog are Seattle bike company, some are Santa Cruz(formerly Panda) and GT bikes were Riteway.

Scan it, make CD's, and sell them. You'll end up with 10X what the book is worth. Gary

I'm going to make scans right now. The original book is sold. I got an offer I couldn't refuse.

I will make them free to the public next week. I'll put them on all the forums.
