Old Colson BMX cruiser build.

First iteration of this bike, got the frame and fork from the man Rick Toomey himself. Since swapped those awful vdc bars, bike has many miles on it now, still cool just not as pretty! Enjoy.

Hey, just found this forum. Here is my Mongoose Montana that I've been riding for a year.

I think after that Stranger Things BMX came out, the BIG manufacturers realized that people want cheap nostalgia bikes, and BMX is nostalgia now. This 26 is currently available new, the wheels will probably show up on builds in a few years.

To be honest, a black set would look good on the RockRat. And the bars and stem

Our Northern Rat Brothers have opened my eyes to brands and parts that I used to look down upon. Opened my eyes to affordable possibilities.
-62 F a couple of hours north of my house. Waddya got?

Shimano is best bang for the buck. Bendix red band RB2 is a great hub.

You weren't afraid to throw some serious parts at it, were you? Nice choices

Today's mission, was to paint and build up this 'Bandit' styled ride. Inspired by the Flite Bandit padset.

Sick DB, Vic! A ride for all seasons. That would fit in my fleet nicely. I like that you took a mountain bike from a BMX manufacturer back to its roots.

thanks, I was inspired by the old Diamondback Harry Leary edition. Pissed off the purists though when I stripped it from factory original to what it is now. If my Klunker build turns out to be a great cruiser I may revert the Axis back to original for my collection of early 90s MTB only time will tell.
