You must have the "MONO" disease! Very nice bike! The bango stand is color co-ordinated! WOW you big showoff!

Looks like the stand is made of PVC and painted to match.

I vote for a "Reilley1 Collection" in the BMX museum!!! Just so many killer OS bikes that should be on continous display!

Nice, MMMmmm... Factory speed holes in the forks, jumbo size. Even got mini speed holes in the grip ends. Man, they just don't make them like that anymore. Great job Reilley!

Thanks all. After putting together the Yamaha bike, Black Widow mono, Moxie mono and Matthews mono my back is starting to hurt...



There's also a Dan Guerny Mono, Webco mono and a Royce Union mono on that rack with another Guerney mono in the works

The two hole "adjustable" ones are 74/early 75.
