  1. Based on the dropouts I'd say the front fork is Black Lite. I think the frame is some other brand though.
  2. I'm late to the party as usual. Just now seeing this. Its a aluminum frame that was chromed. Black Lite experimented with chrome over aluminum. The problem was as soon as the frame flexed the chrome began cracking, splintering and flaking off. The welds for the chrome aluminum versions were smoothed down to take the chrome. These frames had no serial number or build date designation. The company existed from 82' to 84' or 85'. Black Lite was a company out of Texas. They made custom frames out of titanium, aluminum or chromoly. Side note, I use to have the same basketball goal. Also, I have a blue cut down hammerhead seat just like the one on your bike. I wonder if you sold it to me.
  3. Profile magnesium hubs. There was also a magnesium mini stem prototype. And then there’s drilling and cutting. So many choices. This is why I like mini’s. They are like dry lake hot rods. Built for all out speed.
  4. I've been toying around with the idea of a aluminum spindle and aluminum hub axles. I know Profile offered aluminum spindles with the Magnatanium. I've also seen aluminum hub axles in Nukeproof hubs. I have a blazer that was built in the early 80s with a custom aluminum bottom bracket so I at least know that was possible for a early 80s build. Not sure if aluminum axles were available. Seams like there was a aluminum chain available at some point as well. That or a titanium chain, can't remember brand, maybe Regina. Then maybe a Tuf Neck 4.9 stem. Those were available as soon as 84' maybe 83' I think. Theres also aluminum pedal spindles. I know HARE pedals had aluminum spindles and of course the bodies were plastic.
  5. I was able to buy the Black Lite that was recently posted on the museum. It was listed as titanium but is in fact chromed aluminum. The chrome is in bad shape and there’s a crack at the top tube near the head tube. It’s been out in the weather a bit. Has Navajo forks. Their chrome isn’t in the best shape either. I’m glad to have gotten it though.
  6. Cool, happy to. Heres a shot of ebenk catching mad air with his aluminum Black Lite.
  7. Heres some more Black Lites that have popped up recently. First what was advertised as a Panda Mini but looks to be a aluminum Black Lite: Heres a Chromed Aluminum Black Lite that was posted in the Museum: And then theres the NOS frame found in a scrap yard. You may have seen it before as it was posted here elsewhere:
  8. Here’s the thread I found it in: http://www.bmxsociety.com/topic/56594-little-help/?fromsearch=1
  9. It belonged to a racer named Chris Gibson. Don’t know why it was stickered Redline. May have road this frame for Redline in a race and just restickered it for the race.
  10. Hello folks, I'm new to the society. I'm into Black Lite and have some pics to share. Some may have been seen elsewhere on this site but I'd like to include them in this all inclusive thread. Original head tube decal. (from member: ebenk) Titanium frame set. Titanium frame set and Freestyle frame set. (from member: ebenk) Chromed aluminum frames.
  11. Hows your Black Lite coming along? I've got the same frame as well. Blew my mind when I saw you post that you'd found yours in a scrap yard. And and unused frame as well!
