Was poking around in the attic today and had a wonderful find of some old stuff I didn't even know I kept.
1984 Bicycle and Dirt magazines. Lots of brands and parts I don't really remember like Navajo bikes, Piranha bikes. A big article on Cheri Elliott in one of them. Quite a few Ad pictures that I've not seen posted on these sites. I'll try to do some scans over the winter.
82-85 BMXA's
some late 80's freestylin and Go magazines
a white dyno seat (maybe dominator?) I don't even remember owning this seat so maybe it came on an Elf that I bought used?
83 Mongoose catalog, there is a black motomag with yellow tuff ii's and yellow comp II tires that is gorgeous.
And a wonderful homecoming----
In the late 80s I had a white Elf XL that has kept it's place as my all time best riding 20in bike.
I sold my whole big stash of BMX/freestyle parts to pay for college back then but for some reason I kept the white elf fork. and there it was in a weathered little cardboard box! forgotten for about 16 years.
Ahhh, it was like seeing an old friend. the white patina has long since yellowed, the decals had plenty of scratches from all the silly jumps I attempted and often didn't land. and yellowed clay residue from the indoor track that existed one glorious winter around 1990.
