This bike makes me smile, I have wanted it since I learned to ride a bike, as it hung shining and twinkling on the wall of a family friend's house. It has more history than any of my other bikes, and I will never sell it. It became mine a short while ago, and is as I received it other than the tires (the tioga comp 2's that came with it were shot), as all I did was clean it up and re-grease and adjust the bearings. It is amazingly light (20 lbs), and truly a fast machine, the pinnacle of looptail BMX race bikes.

sweet old school rig!

great to see all the OG components on it. I'd get some black comp IIIs or IVs on there though…

just trying to keep the flavor of how I received it...

It had gumwall white comp 2's on it when I got it, and you can't see in the pics really but it has white brake pads, so I was just trying to freshen it up without spending an arm and a leg, I got the NOS white comp 3's you see for five bucks each, so I figured what the hell? For the street I am thinking about some new black comp pools cause they're fast, sticky and come in 1.75....but that is for another day. now I just kind of stare at it in my living room and pinch myself now and again.

makes me smile too.

makes me smile too. + 44/16 is hella fast!
