Anyone checked this out? I’ve killed a good hour or two already looking at all the old skool bikes and all the ones I saw and rode as a kid.

Edit: If you fish through the idiots posting new bikes…there are some real legends in there…even the bike that started it all…the Schwinn King-Sting…it was what would evolve into the early BMX bike

If they had a collection of all the bikes that appeared in RAD, they’d be golden.

I just saw my old purple GT performer on there I got when I turned 8, lol. That’s where Rick got his Mulleterno nickname…

No but I have a bootlegged copy (and you can find dubbed versions on egay), and one original VHS cassette I stole from Blockbuster in 9th grade. I also have the music soutrack I compiled over the years that I still get a kick out of…

You’re taking a chance, risking it all  
For the thrill of the moment  
Taking a stand, you ain’t gonna fall  
You’ve always known it  
They’re dying to shake you,  
Trying their best to break you  
And though the going is rough, you’re going home as a hero

…When there’s thunder in your heart

every move is like lightning…(sing along)

I had 2 old school mongoose frames I threw some parts on. They were chrome and only had the mongoose sticker on the down tube so I never new what model they were but it looks like it was either a mightygoose, pro or california from 1983. I had tons of old school parts on it too. think my parents threw it away. ☹

Also found this. I remember saving birthday and christmas money and shit and buying a brand new 94 GT PRO SERIES. It was like $400, nicest bike I ever had. Sold it years later for like $150 booo.

a friend of mine had this bike with some 3 piece cranks and I think he put skyway mags on it. That bike ruled.

Wow, my very first ride.

Frame was red, tires were white, rims had a gold finish (spokes not mags). Even had checkered pads on it lol. Got sold a few years ago without me knowing about it, wish I was able to hold onto it ☹

damn.

heres mine.

GT interceptor  
Redline Pro Line  
GT Pro Series  
Schwinn XS  
Powerlite P38  
Powerlite P61  
Powerlite P61 (redesigned)

and I had some other frames in my basement that my brother build up and rode. a Free Agent, S&M Holmes and i think another XS

i currently have a '99 GT Pro Series. went back to a mid-school chromo bike. the '99 pro series frame is alot more low-profile than the classic Pro Series style that i used to have (with the angled chainstay at the rear dropout). its too bad my skills have diminished so much, that i cant appreciate a good bike anymore. lol
