here is my best catch in the last few weeks.
Aluminum NOMURA 24" BMX frame. Why is it a great catch?
Nomura made about 300 frames tops back in the early 80's, almost all out of aluminum. Today, there are probably 20-25 Nomuras out in the vintage bmx world right now, and they are perhaps the most collectable frame in vbmx world. (check out the prices on ebay!). This is the ONLY 24" version (took both front and rear 24" wheels) that is known to be around. Nomura made 20" and cruisers that took both 26" wheels, and a 26" on the front, and 24" on the rear. This bikes serial number is "Randy001" and was used by Nomura factory racer Randy Robertson.
The last pic is after I built it up.
