How good are those Bear Components? What was the Bear Gooseneck stem though? -
In case I change my mind.....

You should consider the following: There's been studies that show that the more choices we have the less likely we are to achieve happiness. It's counter intuitive because our society teaches us that happiness comes with freedom and freedom comes with choice. .... .... .... ...I HOWEVER, WOULD BE HAPPY BEING MISERABLE WITH ALL YOUR CHOICES!!!!!! -
Seriously, to restore or not restore this??
germnest replied to Brian Hays's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Cool geometry. For me the answer is simple. If you're not 1000% sure don't restore it. Its only original once. Even with the problems. Put some used parts on it and let it be a rare bike with character. Its happened to all of us. You restore bike, and then the bike is brand new looking, so all the parts end up NOS and before you realize it you've built up a carpet queen. -

I'm fascinated by those early days of BMX when they were just modifying what they had and incorporating motocross parts. Just figuring it out as they went. I wish I could see more photos of that stuff. Same thing as later on when shops were trying to make ultra light, ultra trick customs, and they made their own components to save weight and invented cool little solutions. -
ok hold on. THIS IS FUCKING RAD. I also learned about these frames on the site a few years ago and was really curious about them. The break lever- what a touch The drilled out cranks-so rad Show us some more details on how this frame is made. What a sick machine. Right when I get a little bored with the hobby I see something like this. I'm stoked for you. Its different, its fresh, and original.

Hey Guys, Can anyone help clarify what these hubs are exactly? I got them on a cruiser from 82. The sticker looks right but I thought the bearings should be orange and also I thought the allen bolts should be bigger. Are they old hubs with incorrect hardware? Newer hubs posing as older ones with the sticker? Is there any war to tell? Thanks

Years ago I remember reading an amazing thread where a member on one of the sites restored some DX pedals. I remember the restoration was insane. He did an amazing job, pulled the pins out, etc. It was the most thorough restoration I have seen. I remember he even designed his own polishing/sanding tools. Does that ring a bell to anyone? Anyone know where it is? Was it a member named Ted Carl? If not can anyone point me towards a DX restoration thread thats somewhat as good? thanks, Juan
