Jeff, like these? Mongoose Stamped Winners Choice? 26x2.125's? LMK, if so , I MAY have a lead on another set.

NICK, THANKS FOR THE LOOK, MONGOOSE 26 WELL WORK. THANKS KOS

Jeff,
just got off of the phone with the guy, he's sold them all on ebay. I'll keep my eyes open though.

The Kos, getting a Kos Kruiser again? Way too cool.

26 inch cruisers rock. My 'goose cruiser bars are on my 26inch GT cruiser they fit nicely.

Best I can offer Jeff is a couple of old pix







I still wonder how Bart Mc D was able to ride such a big bike :>





JB

Jeff, are the hubs on your bike in the big picture campy's? can't tell from the angle.

<magic 8-ball says> "Signs point to Yes."

Man I miss indoor-on-cement. Did Bart eat dookie just after Cassimus snapped the shutter? Looks awfully outta sorts there.

Wasn't that race the same race (Anaheim) where the famous Johar poster was shot featuring the OM?

Still at a weird angle & no amount of hi res scanning is going to get a better shot of the hubs.
Some colour might help you figure out if they are Japanese or Italian hubs.....




JB

I don't think I'd miss indoor cement racing , there was only one indoor cement race in Sydney/Australia bitd , my brother & I had just gotten into BMX riding & went in to see what BMX racing was all about , the jumps looked lame , the track was predictably flat & the venue was cramped or undersized compared to the outside dirt tracks that were springing up in the burbs.
Outdoor cement skatepark insanity was our preferred option here in Oz , waay back then.

Don't know about Bart slamming or not in the B&W race shot , Jeff looks like he was in a good position to run the speed bump over if he did. Scuse the short jokes , when Bart, Gary Hassehurst (?) & D Young visited Oz under the JMC banner , they stayed at my sponsors house so our paths crossed a lot , being 14 at the time I found it amusing that I stood taller than Bart, Bart didn't appreciate my sense of humor which didn't help international relations at the time. The un amusing part was when I watched Bart race in the 20inch Pro class , he was on the pedals legs spinning like a demon yet his upper body was riding silky smooth , stable & _very_ fast , kinda like a swan on amphetamines.

Rambling along.....James Cassimus always took/printed great photo's for Action Now magazine
Feb 1981 issue of AN magazine.

Kos on the job completely focussed.

What pedals are you after?

SILVER KKT

Anyone know how tall Kos Kruiser bars are? I'm looking at some non-KOS MX bars for a build and I'm wondering if they are taller or shorter than KOS bars. They're 5 in. from the top of the cross bar to the bottomof the clmap area.

Thanks in advance for the help.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ON THE HEIGHT OF THE BAR'S THE SPACE FROM THE TOP OF THE BAR'S TO THE TOP OF THE CROSS BAR IS 4 ' 3/16 TH INCH HOPE THA T HELP'S " THE KOS "

MARK,
JUST READ YOUR MESSAGE ABOUT THE PEDAL'S YOU MADE MY DAY!! I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE THEM E-MAIL ME WITH INFO HOW TO GET INTOUCH WITH YOU WWW.THEKOS13@AOL.COM THANK'S KOS

the nuts on the hubs looked like campy track nuts and they well could be. two things I miss, the south shore indoor concrete floor and the navy/red vans everyone had bitd. I know van's has reissued them but when you wear a size 15, it's hard to find cool vans. back to my train of thought,
Jeff keep on trying to find parts and post some pics of your project.

Thanks!
