Don't think Patty's had their own forks as far back as '80 Matt - tended to run Redline forks from memory.
Volcano

No worries mate. I'm not in the market for a few weeks anyway.
Love those old Pattys - my favourite pic is that one of Brent bunny hopping the hurdles in the Sept '80 BMXA. Classic - Can't find a digital image of it though and my scanner is on the fritz.
This is a good run down though:

Patterson's rock



Coasty I'd be more worried about your total posts

May 10 2008, 07:43 PM
That's awesome Rohan.
I love the later Patty's too, but those early ones with the extended seat tubes are the duck's guts.

Hey guys, won a GT frame set this morning!
I'm no GT expert but looks to be '82 vintage??
Is the 'Santa Ana' a different model than a standard GT??
Looking to get some repo decals, not sure what would be correct, ones with 'Santa Ana' or '4130 chrome-moly' printed under 'GT BMX'???
Any tips?
Click to view attachmentClick to view attachmentI'll blame this on Stu, the pics of his recently sold bike pushed me over the edge!!! LOL
Bugger didn't think I was gonna get so sucked in by this hobby!!
Race shots are cool MB!!!!!!!!!!! What's your race number?
COASTY
May 10 2008, 09:07 PM
Nice race shots Rohan. The race gear looks good mate. Very flash.

Looks nice Brad!
Dunno much about GTs, aren't the ones with the down tube smaller diameter than the top tubes '81?
To see who has posted what, go into Worldwide BMX and click on the total number of posts in this thread - it'll give you the league table. LOL.

Bradster-he might be the one wearing matt black.
Sorry.
Hey Matt-Why did you put those Patto stickies on that "Redline"? hehe.
JMCGT
May 11 2008, 12:08 AM
nice one rohan...they are the style i want to use..also have the fork declas..
hey brad definatley sant ana...you bought it of william..prospectator...he stretches the truth alot about his bikes....
gt,s in general..small down tube is 81...same size downtube is 82 and the larger downtube is the 83..
after that they started with the slant cut top tube ,holes in the rear dropouts,lip on the headtubes,bit more to it but a bit like that..your frame looks good though brad..the guy that sells the mongoose decals also sells the gt sets,nora cups..get them of him...cant think of his name..but i,m sure mick will know..$34.95 i think
JMCGT
May 11 2008, 12:13 AM
hey brad,it does look like an 81..did he give you #,s...or say what is was besides MINT MINT MINT,..LOL
non drilled fork..nice..you will love this bike..
rohan,what are you riding??
Volcano
May 11 2008, 01:17 AM
Cool Patty Rohan!!!
Hey Brad - I got one of those GT's...but mine's all brown with rust...LOL
If it's not Stu, it's Waz or Adam...blame them all for making us spend $$$ on builds...Hahahaha. Wonder when the next game of "Mongoose Chess" is?
Hey Glenn - I think that's Glynn Hicks...not sure. I'll go check out the store for ya! Get some info.
Matt - "Big Boned"...don't you watch Southpark???

Matt just dropped by & dug out some old pix here & I been scannin like crazy , not too sure where to post them all yet tho....
Matt still races under his old race number , 41 , & is riding a white 24 inch JC "Torker" style bike (24 inch BMX bikes are not cruisers) , I pushed him to get the Torker chrome plated but he decided against it , maybe his next race frame will get the new skool geometry & include the all the old skool cool features they did bitd + get chrome plating this time

bling
Best & most sociable I've felt so far is today after the dental surgeon worked me over on the 2nd , that guy has shown me how to inflict a whole new world of pain onto someone & not leave any external marks. I'll be able to add a new chapter into my personal "black book" of improvised field techniques to take care of business , titled "when too much pain is barely enough"
still damm sore , but it seems to be manageable without S8 pain medications now..this week should be interesting....
