I'm a huge fan of perusing the museum and checking out the bling that you guys create - I love it! LOVE IT! I can't get enough of it! But my favorite bikes have always been Survivors. I found a nickel Cooks Bros. with the european BB and original tuf neck and mismatched alloy crank arms about ten years ago that couldn't have had more soul. I kick myself for ever letting it go.
I just stumbled across a bike I had never heard of (never new Mototbecane made bmx bikes) and after obsessing about it for a day or two, I bought it. It's a total survivor. Looks like the only parts not original are the tires. Here's a link to a pic -

Happy Snow Day!

Survivors are the best.
That's a nice bike you picked up, ride the heck out of it.

never seen one of those before.
What's funny is that the new thing for newschool bikes this year is a very low top tube to reduce the amount of metal on the frame. they look pretty much like that frame. he he he.

Nice find- Very cool. I almost let my frame go as well, but I am so happy I didn't. For some wild reason I am finding it very satisfying rebuilding my old friend. Kinda like waking up on the 4th of July w/ a handful of M80's, Blackcats, and grosses of Bottle Rockets when you were a kid.
Enjoy,
Traveller

....it's about as good as it gets!
Survivors are best but a complete resurrection is fun and important as well. My opinion anyway...

"love the pink. "
You'd make Paul Stanley proud, and Gene jealous.
