Looking at the Rascal thread i saw that Tim's Rascal had some G Boy forks on it(I think??)
Anyway bitd a hardcover book came out over here in OZ and it had a G Boy on the back Page... it was one of those bikes that i said to myself that i'd own one day. Don't worry i'm not going to ask if yours is 4 sale... I'd love to see some more of them. That's if anyone has any. And i'm sure that everyone else here would like to see em to!!

Dan Goins here oened a green one a few years ago, not sure if he still has it.

GGGeeeeee Geeeee G-UNNNNIT!

Geeze i LOVE staring at that bike!! I still get the same feeling looking at it as i did 26 years ago! Ahh the feeling of wanting something and not being able to have it!! Ohh well.... back to dreamin!!

Does anyone know the history of these bikes??
Because inquiring minds what to know!

thats the pic in BMX downunder isn't it, page 62
the comment that goes with is "Mag wheels look great but aren't popular"

We are dreaming

i think that was the only one in Oz

Meatpie you have a lot on your plate right now !!

Pun intended

I have a blue one that should be finished soon. I love those clear grips on that red one. NICE !

I don't have the green one anymore. It was sold to a friend who got in a bind and sold it off. Not sure were it lives these days. Always regretted getting rid of that one. It was originally blue ano but had several small cracks so I figured a color change after repair was cool. I have another one now and one of these days I may build another green machine. Sod had a picture of my green G-Boy maybe he could post it??

oh gee.. here's my ratty ole g-boy!

One af my all-time fave builds ever posted here -- that bike is so primo.

G TIM! Great looking bike! Technical question about the cranks. Was it normal in that period to paint the cranks or was that done in the factory? Thanks!

I mean that black on the crankarm. I have noticed more crankarms were like that.

that's factory, Sander.

Thanks Tim for comming through with that pic! I got just 1 ??? for ya. How come you don't have the forks off your Rascal on it??? They are G Boy forks aren't they??? Scotty

THANKS TIM!! Always wondered that about those cranks! Now I know.

i like mix-matched frames & forks. different colors, different brands. plus the g-boy forks came with the rascal frame. be like sending brothers to different adoptive families to split them up.

Cool!

Thanks for posting the pics - I had a red one BITD, Redline forks, VX cranks...

If I hear Tim call one more of his bikes "ratty" today, I'm gonna puke. His hhggmm(clearing throat) "ratty" bikes make my BEST ones look like freaking Huffy's.

Guys,
Those cranks are from the Dura-Ace "Black Series" they are part of a limited run that Dura-Ace did back in the mid to late 70's. Very Trick stuff, I showed Tim the hubs at Rockford last year.


Rod

Hey you, get off the computer and out into the garage NOW and fix my frame!!!

yeah, sure. SHOWED 'em to me, Rod. couldn't get them off you with a blowtorch and my best threats.

Alright then, more info! Thanks Rod! Appreciate it.
