My first bike was a one-speed Schwinn, then the five-speed stingray knock off. In fifth grade I got a mitsutani 10 speed. In seventh grade I returned to the sting-ray style because I missed going off jumps and popping wheelies. I got a Webco bmx bike in 1976, my sophomore year, which I hardly rode because I wasn't good enough at the tricks and was constantly challenged by kids who could shred. I wasn't great on a skateboard but could do 360's well enough, fortunately the ollie and other more advanced tricks hadn't been invented yet and because of Portland's climate there were no swimming pools which I certainly would have sucked at riding, so the skateboard was a relatively shame-free source of transportation for my 15th year. Getting my driver's license brought some relief to my wheeled woes.
The main components of this bike match my bmx - Black Webco frame, Redline forks, black Tuffwheels and box-style handlebars.
You could buy that back. Anyone have a big wheel plastic thing. I was too old , but liked the deign.
i had a big wheel. my younger sister got the green machine.
Mean green after mean joe Greene. My college NTSU were the mean green. He was an amuni. Drafted to nfl 1969 round1
I was too old for the big wheel and was jealous of the younger set for having them.
Mee too. I was thinking it might be Dave’s bracket exclusively here
i graduated to this. part of me thought the bmx kids were dumb because it took so much more effort to get anywhere.
Yeah, for me to ride home from school meant climbing 5 miles of steep hills on a one-speed, which was stupid.
I hitch hiked 2 miles everyday
