Oh Sooo Odd Cook Bros Find

[HutchXL24]

Let's just say you never know when you're going to pass a homeless dude on a premium 80s BMX bike. I'll post some pics tomorrow when there is light. Also want to send a shout out to all responsible for the cruise today. I had a great time.

Uhmmmm....."homeless" dude on a primo BMX bike?
Did anyone think to ask how he managed to "aquire" the bike? :shock:

Like he would have told me. :lol:

I always check bikes I buy for owner markings that might help it get back home. I've looked the bike over for serial numbers, names, and phone numbers and there is nothing other than the factory serial #.

Dude was probably a bike collector and his wife gave him the boot...and the bike is all he has left!

I didn't know if you seen thishttp://sacramento.craigslist.org/bik/1134124559.html

Thanks for posting the link.

He'll never get that much for it. The frame, fork, and stem are worth about half that, if he find the right buyer. The rest is nickle and dime stuff.

It's helping that it's a euro bb pro frame.

I'm hunting for one of those repop decal sets that he's selling w/ that bike, but so far, no luck
