I was into bmx as a kid growing up and about 10years ago I sold my mongoose to make way for car parts I decided to get back into the bmx scene but not like the youngsters are running around with today,I wanted the old school bike. I managed to find this 30year old frame and ever since I've completed it,its being a blast. Plus I leave all the kids 10years younger than me with new bikes in the dust hehe


I just completed my first old school bmx restoration project
and wanted to share the process and how it currently sits

- Thu Mar 19, 2015 2:24 am #352683 I love bmx! Don't ride much anymore due to wife baby work and cars (not complaining) I'm just 22 yrs old so not an old schooler but love the old scool bikes. I redone my dad's old Schwinn predator. All chome with the mags and some tiny pegs. you done an awesome job on your restoration!

94civicmtn, thanks bro. Would really like to see pics of that predator you spoke of:). I know what you mean bro its difficult to find time. I try and ride like twice a week. There's a wetland and field close to my house so I don't have a excuse lol
