OK, so we're not where we want to be, lets show our bikes here.

Everything welcome, bring it on....

Two Stings to start.

Nice rides!!! I dig the "Race for Life" number plate! You don't see many of those around anymore!! I have 1, from around 82! We have 3 actually, but not sure where the other 2 are!!! In a box somewhere, just haven't dug it out yet!!! Sweet though!!!

Here's my Schwinn. It's getting a lovely yellow powdercoat. I think there's gonna be some hoopla starting next week on the other US site. I hope I get my pitbike wheels soon.

If I were there, I would probably enter these two bikes. First is my lovely and original chrome KZ-83 LaserLite. Second would be my beautifully restored early KZ-1 bike. Maybe I will be there for 2007 now that I am moving closer to home this year. Cheers

Here's my Hutch Pro Star replica and my original owner '87 Robinson Pro Team. Wish I were in Rockford, but here with you guys is a nice second best.

Long distance representation . . .









In progress for next year . . .





Martin

Sk8bones, be careful, the original Scrambler decals won't stick to powdercoating. The decals are the ones you soak in water then apply and (I don't know the technical reason) they don't stick to powder coating.

By the way, the wheels for the Scrambler are on the way.

I was going to enter these in the show.





And here's a family photo...

Super nice bikes. So out of my league.

Theres a survivor category right? Does it only apply to bikes that haven't been rebuilt? Screw it heres a survivor frame

Holy smoke, Cornfed.

My money was on Martin's Skyway (and that Proline is gonna look amazing when assembled!) until you reminded us that you've got this thing laying around.

Holy smoke, all y'all.

Awesome bikes guys! I'll be going back to the show later today, after Jon (agentheinz) gets his butt over here.

Un FRIGGIN Real!!! I think you guys spent all of your $$$ on the bikes. No dough for the gas to Rockford???

cornfed, I'm dying here...sick, just sick

That is definately the mostest JMC I've seen.
Top stuff cornfed.
Martin, all your bikes are killer.
Love'em all!

killer bikes men !!! im flovalling on my next money burner , so everytime i seen another beautiful bike , i had to go back and look at martins floval again to compare . that JMC chrome is spectactular

There is something about that black GJS bike that makes me want yet another GJS. Shooot, there all nice.

Thanks guys.

Man oh man, I'm still blinded by the chrome on the DY.Awesome! My fav's are the Gary Ellis Kuwie, the CBR wow, & the DY...perfect, love the use of a Cool-Stop brake pad piece as a washer on the mount.I had my DY jacked forever ago & seeing a WAY better set up one makes me want to ride so much.Cornfed your an artist, great job.

How about this?



or this?



or this lot....



and this (but it ain't finished yet...)

Beautiful bikes all. Ringer, I love your blue Kuwahara. Anyway, I'm not at Rockford either...

Holy heck Johnson!

That Powrelite is PRIMO!!!!

Wow - has to be the best Powerlite I've seen (except the pedals suck - get some old school ones - lol)

PS: are those powerlite bars not Power Bends?
The end look straight...

thanks Johnson, your powerlite is an awesome showpiece, WOW!

oh my, that Powerlite is purty.

Yep, best 20" Powerlite I've seen yet.

Thank you gentlemen--the compliments mean A LOT coming from this group. I'm quite proud of this little plite. There are a lot of used parts on it that got polished and/or painted. I kept a sort of visual diary of this project--way more than anyone wants to know but it can be seen HERE.

The pedals... I know, I know...I wanted beartrap style pedals but couldn't swing the $$$ on the real deal so I cut these up, polished them and, well...they have a lot of heart.

Andy, they are power bend bars. See...

Randy...is that 2 stage candy blue on your Sting? my plite is the 2 stage powder thing. I suspect that BITD that kind of paint job didn't really happen on BMX frames, did it?

Yes, it's 2-stage. Transparent blue powder over silver metal flake powder. Can't say whether it's the same process Schwinn used bitd but the result matches.

There's an awful lot of stunning bikes associated with the os forums, but that Powerlite takes the biscuit, I guess purely on the "you don't see many of them" stakes, colour really suits it.

Johnson99, I think that Powerlite is winner!!! That is one eye catching bike. I love the burgandy color

The Powerlite is amazing. The chrome JMC is the original Rockford award winner...

I would of brought these.

Johnson - those step by step pics are cool.

If I had a spare set of polished DX pedals laying around I would set them to you!

Andy, thanks man...the thought is appreciated. Glad you liked the picts/journal thing. It was fun project. This bike has a twin RA7 that was built at the same time. I'll try to post the RA7 picts too. Been meaning to do that for months now.

Can't pass up an opportunity to post pics ...

... and here's my bikes that I dream't of taking to Rockford..



ENjoy

That gold PK Ripper is mind-blowing. Thanks for sharing the photo.

what a fantastic bunch of rides, Johnson99 your Powerlite is just awesome - I can see a lot of loving has been put into it, well done.
