First things first I want to thank Mike (Swine70) for letting me purchase this bike.... I had to twist his arm a little bit, but I won him over!! LOL!!

Being from NJ, i never saw one of these at a show or never even heard of them, so i HAD TO HAVE IT!!! It is original chrome and stickers. Greyboy and Truly Odd noticed that this is a 2nd Gen Frame with First Gen stickers. Also that the fork stickers are actually frame stickers cut in half, along with the seat tube and chainstays are a weird mix of stickers that should be in other places that are found on "later" made frames. With this info from them, I contacted Mike, and he said "thats the way i bought it." I used some of the original parts that Mike had on the frame since day one, and mixed in a little of my touches also.

here is a parts breakdown and also the people who helped out on this bike.

Rebel Racing F&F - original chrome and stickers

Hutch Pro Bars - Mikes Original bars!

Haro Plate - I added the grab on, Suntour and BMX action decals, the rest were on the Plate when i received it in a trade from a GREAT bmx member Keep it warm aka Tom. I took the plate and with the decals that were on it, i sorta built the bike from them!

Thanks for the comments guys. I wanted to build something "survivor-ish"!!!!

I only used a few NOS items that i could not find used, and spread them out far enough that it doesn't take away from being a so called "survivor"

RANDY LIKES A BIKE OF MINE!?!?!?! He!! has frozen over!!!! haha!!!! Thanks Randy, it must be the lack of the non Kashimax Aero seat?????? laugh.gif

Osrlracer.....good eye man!!!! 1970 Monte Carlo, its for sale...too many bow ties in the stable!!!! 62k original miles...all NOS trim. It needs a new home!!!!!!!
