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 -

Anyway. What says you? Which do you prefer trailer queens or Survivors? And let's see some of your evidence! Survivors or otherwise.

Happy Snow Day!

Survivors are the best.

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

What if it is a trailor queen and a survivor?

....it's about as good as it gets!

Survivors are best but a complete resurrection is fun and important as well. My opinion anyway...

This is a survivor, all original/carpet queen.
