Looking for old school BMX parts

[Mookster]

I know there are a few BMXers on the forum.

I am attempting to start an old school BMX build.

Looking for a frame and fork in chrome, if possible:

1. Skyway T/A
2. Supergoose
3. Kuwahara KZ

I will entertain complete bike if the accessories are right.

I have seen these parts on Ebay but the amounts seem a bit unrealistic.

Any leads are appreciated. TIA

Find Byron

[Oh Haha]

You need to talk to RacerBVD on here. He probably has all that you need!!!

[Rick V]

I thought I said that.

[Oh Haha]

Rick, get out of my head, man!!

I couldn't type my response fast enough knowing that Byron is the guy.

Wonder if he is open to any trades? Hi Byron

[Rick V]

I send him a FB message and tell him to come here, lets see if it works

You keep throwing them low and outside and I am gonna keep driving them over the fence.

No leads?

You did not invoke the magic words, "wanna trade", that will make the Byron appear.

I sent him a message on face book, he said he would roll through here, he has been busy lately

BMXMuseum.com is going to be one of your best options, aside from ebay.

Don't know pricing, but the list o' craig turns up a Skyway T/A in chrome for $250:

Skyway 20" T/A XL Pro frame & fork

The stuff is not cheap. Back in 2004 I was in my last years as a truck driver. Every old Schwinn dealer I saw while I was out and about, I stopped in. I would say what you're saying "I'm trying to build a period correct old school BMX bike". Surprisingly many of these places would have a ton of NOS. I started cleaning them out. The GJS, DG, Skyway, JMC, Cook Bros.....stuff all sells for big money.

From what I've seen in pictures posted, Byron is sitting on a fortune.

No, start a BMX Selfie thread

Sorry guys, between work & some personal issues, I have been tired up, and harder to respond on my phone.

1. Skyway T/A
2. Supergoose
3. Kuwahara KZ

You looking to build a rider, or wall art??
Skyway has a very nice modern version that retains the old school style while being very rideable. . Here are a few(not mine)



All are out there, just as some have already pointed out, prices are not cheap (and everyone use to laugh at me for keeping all my old stuff) and like the Porsche world, there are "flippers" and even worse, people selling fakes as the real thing.

This "Big Ripper" (this is the prototype, production will have chromoly forks) is pretty fun to ride too,

This is my favorite Goose, and I have turned down some pretty crazy cash offers for her.

LOL, well, when you started when the sport started, and stayed with it, you are bound to have "stuff".
yea, if I sold off all my BMX stuff & my Fuchs.......................................

Don't know pricing, but the list o' craig turns up a Skyway T/A in chrome for $250:

Skyway 20" T/A XL Pro frame & fork

That is the modern version, still a cool rider, with the 80s style.
The only picture I could find of my old TA.



Sorry, this Goose isn't for sale either.

Holy crap! I had no idea. I googled "big ripper" and came up with a 29'er version of the original bike, supposedly by the same SE racing company. I've always loved the bare aluminium version like the one above. Are those monster tires? 24 inch? Rotors? This looks like a cruiser. What gives? More info please!!!!

Sorry, my bad "Fat Ripper" Still SE, but Scott sold it long ago, but still has strong BMX roots.

The Fat Ripper » SE Bikes Home

What could be up our sleeve now?? How about a “Fat Ripper”, that’s what! We designed this new PK Ripper frame and Landing Gear fork around the 26×3.5” tires, hence the name “Fat Ripper”. It’s the perfect mix of BMX and Fat! Nothing can stop this bike, now everything can be ridden with no boundaries. Todd Lyons is currently at the SE factory working with the design team and doing real-world testing, so you know it’s getting dialed in! The bike will be available in late summer with price around $950 MSRP! Get ready, it’s coming!

Still have a Ripper

[LEAKYSEALS951]

awe! bummer! Now I'm looking at that SCOTT road frame hanging from the ceiling 51cm? 53-54cm? I think that was about 950 grams and pretty darn strong. Maybe even 850. I also like the redline sprockets. Are they all 44 teeth? Freakin' candyshop. My neighbor had a ross BMX bike with the same red rims, but his had internal drum brakes. Nice Haro too. I'm a big Torker fan so I like that style. You've got all the toys!

My very first BMX race was on a Schwinn Scrambler just like that one!

[Mookster]

I am looking to make a fun rider.

I would prefer to have an old school frame/fork and brakes with other modern parts. The Kuwahara or Supergoose II is my first choice for my platform build.

I still have my childhood PK Ripper.

Thanks for the photos and leads.
