Full Version: Question about Thruster rear drop outs
VintageBMX.com > VintageBMX Talk > Vintage BMX Racing

What other bikes had the rear drop outs like Thruster? I know Porter has them. The reason why I am asking is that I saw a frame that had the same type of drop out as a Thruster but the welds so/so. It was a steel/chromo frame look to be a expert size wise.

Thanks,

Like the old Thruster? Team Murray I think?
old-skull
Yes, the old style I guess. Didnt know they had different types.
agentheinz
Maybe they don't, LOL.

But it's the ones kinda where the axle slot is in between the stays, rather than behind?

Puch

I think the Ralph's Hustler frame too.
MNW
Puch Trak Pros were made by Speed Unlimited and have identical drop outs to the Thrusters.

Team Murry defnitely had dropouts like that on some of their bikes...

From memory,
other than Thruster:
1)The Murray's of the mid 80's as agenthinz said
2)Puchs as brianb and MNW said. Which are really regusseted Thusters.
3)..and Force frames from Hank n Franks in Nor Cal. (I think these are the ones you're thinking of Randy)

There was a discussion on here a while back about the Force frames as to who produced 'em. Probably Thruster did the first if not all..I would think.

old-skull, if the the frame doesn't have the balonie-cut stays, the welds are poopie and the seat stay curve before mating with seat mast...I would lean toward a Murray.

Thanks for all the response guys. I will try and get a pic.

Thanks again,
