hey quicksilver , hutch or not ... i walked into an old bike shop in adelaide and proudly said to the 60yr old owner "mate , do you have any old bmx bits that you never sold from the 80's"

he looked at me as if i had a hole in my head and said "no mate , why would i keep parts that long " .... i was like "OK mate , just askin" , i felt like saying "well an old pro neck is worth more than these crap bikes your'e sellin" .

no good , where do yous guys get all these scores from ? present score not included as it is a garage sale lookalike .

Hey thats cool, what is it?

Wood seatpost? Now that is old school!!

Cool looking stem on there

Looks like a CW.

Nice pickup Reece - have you any leads on what it is?

7 or 8 years ago I called all the bike shops in my area. Asked them if they had any old parts, bikes etc. Not one of them said they had anything except a guy who said he just sold a nos moose for $90. I don't think half of them know what is old stock or what they have got. They probably had heaps of stuff that is now long gone.

Heres some more pics, interesting cranks

I still think CW,,, Maybe even power-lite !!

free agent?

L and S kreation? white bear?

What's the serial #?

umm... i thought i replied on this thread yesterday.

Forks look like ELF to me. I have a early ELF that has that same white paint, even the patina looks the same. I take some pics and post them this evening.

This bike doesnt have a serial number anywhere on it that I can see.

Look inside the right rear dropout, vertical, towards the front. I was just looking at my 1985 ELF and it has the same type brake bridge (minus a couple of holes where the welds are), but... mine has holes in the rear dropouts. I didn't have time to take pictures to absolutely compare, but the fork dropouts look the same.

I also looked at one of my early free agents... the brake bridge is round.
