Pics and story sent to me by Dave Fraint...

Here's what he wrote........

All I know for sure is that only a few were made and I was lucky enough to get one ($275 back in 79). They seem to resemble the 78 DG "rooster" bikes. As I said before, only the gussets were different. I'm sending two pics, one is from the day after I bought it, (sorry about the quality)... the second pic is of a junior DG frame and fork that I have modified to resemble the original Husky for my kid. My original frame and fork are being powder coated at the moment. If there is some interest in my bike I will gladly post some pics of it when I'm done restoring it.

Was that in a magazine or something you showed me back in the day?

Notorious Byronius,

jp, how is your pops? i liked your dad a lot, he is way cool.

Hey all, I'd like to add to Johnny Johnson's quote about my bike. The Husqvarna BMX bikes were made by DG in a very limited quantity. If anyone out there reading this rode for DG or worked for DG or both and has some knowledge about these bikes, I would love to hear from you. I'd like to make a website about Husqvarna BMX bikes but, I really need some more info...... unfortuantely DG has offered no help. Since the Husky bikes weren't very popular back in the day I rooted for the DG riders.... It's great to see a forum where you guys hang out!

HAD A super pro BACK IN THE DAY LOOKING FOR PIX T G I FRIDAY WAS MY GUY! KYLE FLEMMING MY NEMESIS... R.I.P.

Kevin spoke of this, but here it is! DG Monoshock BMX Bike! From the 1975 "MX" Book of Tricks. The First "BMX" Book of Tricks was 1976.

Good catch Ben!

I remember putting that bike together like it was yesterday! I was soooooooooo excited! 15 years old with a prototype monoshock BMX bike. The bike in that picture was my bike, it was the prototype for the monoshock line. The production models used a simpler frame design, and were powder coated orange. The bike in this picture is yellow. I eventually put a set of Yamaha Moto- Bike forks on that bike for full suspension. It was a tank, LOL! Thanks for digging this up Ben.

You were sporting a tiny front sprocket! How New School for back then.

Here is one of my little projects I am almost finsihed with. I know it is a Racer II but that is about all I know. I think I am going to change out to chrome cranks and a different sprocket. DG pads to follow soon enough... thanks to EMPI.
Any help on idenity would be great. Not even sure f the series 1 Araya 7b's are correct but I sure like how they look on there.... Thanks to a Rampar R-11 I used as the donation bike!

After pracicing at Kearny Moto Park last night, I went to El Torito in San Diego/ Mision Valley with my bud Vance Weisendanger (Haro/ NAG #1 19-27x).

As we drove out of the parking lot, I saw some little economy car with a California license plate...

Thank you VintageBMX.com
U guys ROCK!!!!

yo hella RAD!!!

7B's are fine for that era DG.

Is that a stainless chainless or shaft drive?.

.....almost done.

yo.....looks rad!!! jjcmack

I want to see the pic of the DG mono, all I get is a red "X".

Sorry Shannon. It was Kevin's bike from the 1975 DG Book of Tricks (MX version). I didn't keep a copy and every once in awhile, delete all my uploads.

DG cruiser frame and forks.

Quick questions about the frame pictured above. I was told it's from 1977 but the serial number is 28282 so does that mean it's from 1982? Also, I'd like to eventually build it up. Any recommendations on parts I should use would be appreciated. Cheers.

Looptail cruiser is 82 or so. The Non loop 26" was first and it was 1980. The gusset style was from 1977 and for some reason the used them later on the cruiser. Perhaps old materials sittign around.
