Custom Fit Series One... mostly FBM and primo parts

an onld Gt frame (cant remember the name), w/ odyssey blakc wido sprokets & Ukai rims

I ride mostly street. when I ride dirt I use a modified Bmx with longer seatpost and stem.It is easier to put in the van.l was in Va for 18 monthsin the Norfolk Va beach area and used bicycles as my transport and rec no car ,it was tough but doable. Sometimes I would ride the bus. The furthest I rode while there was 40 miles (18 km) round trip. James

Too old to ride a BMX!

But I'm trying to restore my old school 1981 4130 cromoly Redline MX II (last of the MX II's made in USA).

If anyone knows an easy way to strip off powdercoat paint, I'd sure like to know. Sanding seems to be the only thing that works.

you are NEVER to old to BMX unless ya are like all wrinckled and boring grandad,lol

You can take the boy off a BMX, but you can't take the BMX out of the boy.

This is what I ride now http://www.covebike.com/article.php?itm=33

It has a front brake for now: Hombre Siesta. He can take it off if he wants for dirt. I want him to leave it on for street.

He's young yet (7) & probably won't appreciate this thing for a while if ever. This bike is built to go any way he decides. It won't take much to dial in to any discipline he migrates to.

I still have no idea why I built this thing. Even with Ebay & a friend with a shop, I had to spend over $1400. Just the stinking BB was over 4bills with another yard & a half hanging off it.

The frame originally retailed in '99 for $850 with a Schwinn 4130 fork & XS stem. I got it used as an unbuilt dust collector from a former Haro Flatland Team rider for $80 or this wouldn't have been possible at all.

Living out my own adolescent BMX fantasy here I think.

My own bikes are a Trek 8000 & a Specialized HardRock. Both hardtail MTB's. The usual Shimano upgrades. Both do more for less!

I thought the Andrew Faris frame was the 36-24-26?

He had 2 frames. The 36-24-36 was the "Pepto Bismol Pink" frame. The Powerflow was the exact same geometry in black powder coat. Both had the sick CNC'ed chainstay yoke. Also the pierced top tube that remains a Schwinn feature to this day. They had 100 of each color made. Selected Schwinn dealers were "stuck" with the frames the team didn't use.

I have heard that Schwinn had these made in California by Buddy Carrol (sp?) who builds circle track motorcycle frames.

Given the fact this frame never got all it's decals, I can't fathom who might have owned it before the guy I got it from.
