Hello everyone, I have an 80's model BMX that I've had for a handful of years, and I'm trying to find the model somewhere online. I'm pretty positive it's an actual BMX brand bike, and there's a sticker on the front that just says "Bear Cat II." I have the original owner's manual that came with it, but it doesn't specify the model or anything. I'm not necessarily trying to sell it or anything (though I wouldn't really be opposed to it if the price was right.) I wouldn't mind maybe sprucing it up a little bit. It's a 20" and I'm 6'2", so it's not really an ideal bike for me to ride. Here are some pictures of it, maybe some of you guys can help me out. I appreciate it.

it seems the files are too big in size to be able to put them up in one post, so I apologize for the multiple posts for this..

looks like early '80s, low-end (department store) type bike. probably was sold under several different names, depending on location.
P.S.
the seat is backwards...

so THAT'S why it's been riding strange.. I knew something was up! nah, I need to get a new seat-post for it, I just put it on there to be able to show the "bmx" on the seat. I've just been trying to do some research on it because a few friends of mine were asking me to buy it off of me, and I really have no info on it. The person I bought it from sold it to me because apparently they had originally bought it for someone in the 80's, but the kid couldn't ride it for one reason or another, so it had been in storage for over 20 years. I've only ridden it maybe 4 or 5 times. Part of me wants to hang onto it because I think it's dope, but I never ride it at all. I used to ride bmx bikes in the late 80's and 90's, but now I just ride a fixed gear around the city for the most part. Not to be that guy or anything, but in anyone's opinion, is it worth anything? If I was going to sell it to a friend or something, I wouldn't want to rip them off and overprice it, and at the same time, I wouldn't want to get hosed for it either.

not really worth anything unless for sentimental reasons. it was probably a $79 bike, when it was new.
