History

In the early 80's, BMX was in it's heyday and I used to ride my BMX bike to/from school and on trails. Around 1985, I saw the CW Racing freestyle team. After watching Dizz & Ceppie, things changed. I subscribed to BMXA and Freestylin' Mags. I was 100% into BMX. After college I stopped riding, but in '98 I discovered eBay and started collecting vintage BMX bikes. After a while I wanted to ride again but all of the new bikes lacked the style of the 80's bikes - and I didn't want to wreck my vintage bikes. So, around '00 I started developing a looptail frame based on the old Robinson looptail style. In '01 the prototype was finished and tested. Kappa Bicycle Company, LLC was formed in '02 and closed in '09. I will someday start making frames again - hopefully soon.

-Scott, Kappa BMX

And wood-chip wallpaper - now that's proper old school.
