Thunder Road ?

[A.S.BOLTNUT]

Picked this up from a homeless person that was checking out one of my bikes and mentioned he had a old bmx bike and asked if I might be interested, not quite sure what I'll do with it yet but it's a heavy beast without wheels . Sticker badged Murray .

MBBO?

Or, BMX out, but use all GT 'triple triangle' decals...to befuddle the GT guys .

Ya man, That could be a sweet Muscler with a banana and some apes.

It would make a better muscle bike than it ever made a bmx bike

20" rat trap?

Yes apparently the 20" and 24" are the same fork in dimensions...

 

[scrumblero]

I'm still wondering what it is.

I'm still wondering what it is.

It's a Murray Cat MX bike similar to my Murray built Sears Free Spirit MX bike. Early versions had the pie plate chainguard. Later ones had the full length. They used 24" springer forks so that there would be extra clearance between the front fender and tire to give the bike a 'Motocross' look like the motorcycles that were popular in the 1970's. Huffy used 24" forks on their Thunder Road MX bikes too.

Actually the 20" and the 24" are the same fork...
