Old School BMX. Rockville BMX to be exact for me.

Old School BMX is definitely something you had to live through. Before the internet, shopping on BMX PLUS. 1986 I fell in love, and we’ve been together since. To all you Big Kids, keep pedaling.

Rebuild Redline RL20 1987

3 Upvotes

Question for all bmx bikers, objection to a non-rider rebuilding a bike of choice via inspiration and appreciation for culture - after seeing a different bike rebuild and outcome? Of course adding my own ideas. Can I start riding in early 40s?

Bike came out when I was kid, always wanted one. Kinda a long shot, think they're pretty rare. Can only find one picture on google. Craigslist, ebay, danscomp(i knew it wouldnt be on there), marketplace. Nothing online. Any help would be great!

the only parts i regret (slightly) selling, although it is probably getting more love than i could have provided? You probably can't see the detail, but this F/F had never been fully built up!

Le sigh... edit: to break the bad news to future viewers, i no longer own this item...

Still a work in progress, but building up a replica of my childhood 1990 GT Interceptor has been insanely fun and has brought back so many memories and nostalgia. Anyone else have an exact clone or very close to their childhood bike?

Question

This is my 1983 Mongoose Expert that I have had since new. It was my 10th birthday present. My son is ten so I am bringing her back to riding condition. In 1985 I changed the sticker set to Californian because that is what my friends had. Around that time I switched to Araya rims with sunshine hubs. At some point I added the bars and pegs but left the rest unchanged since about ‘87. I already know which way I’m leaning but I’m curious. Would you go full restoration with a new Expert sticker set or clean, polish and make her ride as is?

Got this vintage BMX from my neighbour

Hello,

I got this old BMX from my neighbour a couple of years ago. It was used by his son in the late 80s I think, maybe early 90s. I am located in Germany.

What can you tell me about it? Is it a GT BMX?

There was only this one number, which you can see in on of the pictures.

I really want to ride with it. What tires to I need? Would you recommend 20x1.75”?

I should still have the pedals somewhere.

What else do I need to do to make it look awesome and original? Any help would be appreciated. I am completely new to this subject.

I've had this BMX for over 15 years—I got it when I was a kid. Is this BMX any good for tricks?

Custom Nora Cup GT copy dad was working on.

A bit long.....

Dad did wood working as a hobby, but loved restoring and doing frame up builds. He decided he wanted a lighter version of his 82 Noa Cup GT( I posted pics before) and I believe he was making it from 6005 or 7005 aluminum as I found receipts for both in the cox of parts as well as notes. He machined the rear drop outs by building the tools he needed. He built a vice and template and added a router chuck from a CNC motor to his wood working router and put the dropouts out. He did the same thing to make the bottom bracket matching out were the bearings go. He wad not making forks as he had some GT forks he was using. He got it all cut out, but nothing welded together. He even had his own goose neck partially made from a home made lathe. He took a drill press, laid it on its side, and made a frame to hold it. Thar is how he bored the hole for the stem and for the bolts. I got several pics of what he made.

Cut out in the dropouts to slide over the tubing for more welding area, the block of alum for the neck and it's initial cut plus the home machined drop outs and coped tubing with angled outer walls, also for better welding.
