Well, I've never realy been one to get into vintage BMX, and only dabbled in "vintage" monuntain bikes (started riding mtb's in about 1988, so when I see people say their '98 Fisher or whatever is "vintage", I get the giggles).
Anyway..
I seem to have lucked out over the past 2 days.
Found on the side of the road: 1985 Schwinn Enduro MTB. 22" wheels (!) dia-compe cantis, shimano shifters/deraileur, bullmoose bars. Whats more, it seems to be an early attempt at a childs mtb.
Found at Goodwill, $10: unidentified BMX bike with headtube gusset and MotoMags (remember those?!) still looking to identify the frame and components, but its mid 70's easily. will post a pic if anyone knows vintage BMX and can help me out.
Also found a 1986 (by treks serial number system) Trek 950 MTB at Goodwill ($15). Lugged true-temper tubing and one of the first generations of shimano's LX group. Very cool seat tube cluster lug. Very nice condition, considering.
Yay me ^^
