Anyway, my brother and I just got this box in the mail the other day with the jerseys (and a few surprises) that we ordered from Rick Twomey of the infamous Rick's Bike Shop BX Team.
All these pics are taken with my brother's survivor Peddle Power just as he last raced it in 1978 except for the Pedal Power forks(not pictured) which he is probably going to get repaired and rechromed. He might have had a black seat on it before which I think he's going to put back on as well.
I have to admit that I actually got chills when I looked in the mirror and saw myself wearing this jersey(hey stop laughing at me). I worshipped Rick's Bike Shop BX Team in the early to mid 70's and it was somewhat surreal seeing myself in their jersey. (you wouldn't understand unless you raced, or rode, in the early 70's). Yes it was called BX before it was called BMX and that is what was on their jerseys BITD.
And for being one of the first 10 people to order these awesome jerseys from Rick Twomey, aka Godfather of BMX, my brother and I each got one of these awesome totally excellent Retro Webco shirts as a surprise that we didn't expect at all! Needless to say Tom and I are TOTALLY STOKED!
