I had the schwine wit hRodger Decoster bars, then the Mongoose, and finally the DG just like below but in Yellow with blue anodized wheels. I had to deliver papers and take out a bank loan when I was 12 to pay for it. Took me a year of to pay it off. Then, when I was 15 some punk went into the back yard and stole it as my little sister watched and didn't say anything.

I dont have any pics of my bikes in the 80's. But I did own a couple Torkers(cracked both frames), a Redline that was stolen, a PK Ripper, and a Quad Angle (SE Racing) that were also stolen/(PK) cracked (Quad Angle), a couple of GT's (bent both frames), then the last bike(18yrs old, 1986) I had was the discontined Profile frame. Had Skyway III's, 3 piece 180 cranks, CW II bars (I think, maybe the III)GT neck. Great bike, until I was hit buy a old lady in car. broke the frame at the crank welds.
Fast forward to now. I picked some Moongoose frame from my University Police impound yard (trash can), gutted it, and placed 3 piece 180 Profile Redline cranks,44T sprocket, Skyway II rimes, 16 tooth ACS free wheel, and large pedals. Needed a bike, so I could go out and ride with my kids. I plan on giving this bike to the oldest (8 year old), and I plan on getting maybe a GT 24 inch. Being 6ft 3, it might fit better. I'll take a pick and post it when I get home tonight. |

I remember when I got it , I had the first "real" BMX bike in the neighborhood, I was everyones idol.:D Then a few months later Bobby Byrnes got a blue one with yellow plastic spokes, so my celebrity diminished.:mad: :p |

ok, that's bizarre. Any more pics of it from different angles? How's it turn?

interesting. I can't wait until the "tweel" is closer to a reality. I'm curious to see what the end product is like. I'm assuming that it'll have to have sidewalls to eliminate balance problems.
