I used to love Block and To B Homecooked stuff. I had a friend that loved Poorboy stuff. I don't have any but please show off your collections if you have any.

Poor Boy bike stuff hoodie
Allied clothing hoodie
i have a pair of allied denim jeans somewhere

and i have some officially licensed GT/Dyno reproduction tee shirts.
Ill find some pics tonight and post them.

I love bmx clothing!

this could be a great thread.

Unfortunately I wore out all of 'said' clothing in the 90's. I had a ton of 2B & Poor Boy tees and stickers, but at the time I wore them proud which led to old ratty tees and worn out stickers.

Steve Buddendeck & Hal Brindley were the founders of 2B and are smart dudes so I'm sure they have everything archived somewhere. Any chance they visit here?

I'm interested to see what people have.

BH1,

You might recognize those forks from fifteen years ago on my Longfellow.

Hah, I was wondering when you would chime in Nbl 49a. I knew you had that set of pads. I hope to find a solid purple set like I had BITD for the build I am working on. I had a Block head band that I used to wear under my helmet and block decals on my bike. I had a 2b hat that someone ended up stealing at a race I think.

Now that i think of it... I'm flying back to NY for x-mas with the fam so I'll be able to go through everything my parents have boxed up and stashed in the basement. I might have some survivors there. I'll let you know

always liked the block padsets. seems like evey set i saw different.never saw the same color combo's or patterns used twice.probably just a thing with danscomp though.every time i asked for one style/color they would send the opposite smile.gif

i would love to find a set of the light blue block paisley pads i had in the early to mid 90's.
also had a dark green 2b home cooked hat that had a fork on it.should have never given it to my girlfriend at the time sad.gif

Racer

Nbl 49a

Ron- You should post some pics! I would love to see what you have! Awesome company.
Meat
Wow...cool thread. I rode for 2B for a lot of years and they had the coolest clothes. Does anybody remember our jerseys we had? It had all of the team members names on the back and had a check mark next to your name. It was so unique.

I still have a few shirts and jerseys laying around.

Here one . Steve or Hal altered it for my brother.90-92?? He had worn these in jumping contest usually held at nationals. Been awhile....


whitey
I think I still have patches, stickers and shirts somewhere. I know I still have my jerseys and pants. Like Meat said our jerseys were unique. Steve and Hal were great guys and the 2B/Reynolds Racing team was a great group. We always had fun at the races....

My buddy had two Block frame and forks. The first one I think was #11, it came with no stickers on it. It got stolen at Woodward and then he got another one. This was probably around '91 or so. Thing felt like a tank and so looooooong. You had to be as big as Bartlett to ride the thing!

Bartlett also sent him the Block VHS video

I have a huge collection of Poor Boy stuff, Steev and I used to hang out a lot, and come up with goofy ideas for stickers and stuff. I probably have a dozen or so sweet tee shirts I need to get together to photo. I also have the nicest Block hoodie that I still bust out on occasion. I bought it at the NBL Christmas race back in the late '80s sometime...Pics to follow (if it keeps raining and I can't ride tomorrow...)
