Asco Bmx Products
« on: January 05, 2012, 07:26 PM »
 I have Just Purchased this from Simon (why isnt this working)... its an 83 Asco Pro Turbo , Dutch made and that is about all I know, Not a great deal came up on any search engine apart from the odd few photos on bmxmuseum ..Can anyone give me a little insight into what Asco where all about , I know they didnt make forks but made race plates and chainrings, bars etc ... This will be left 100% as it is , decals etc will stay as they are and survivor parts will be added ...

They were from Netherlands. With Batavus, they were parts of the beginning of the BMX.  Asco BMX Products manufactured  or asked other manufactures to make parts for them : frames, forks, handlebars, seatposts, seats, brakes, number plates, brake protectors, power disc, chainrings,  etc... One of the top racers bitd was Leon Walravens, he rodes Superclass in the early-mid 80'. He still rides in veteran for Redline.
You've a nice frame and parts. I've a Asco Proline, the same frame, fork, bar rode by Walravens in 1984-1986 (you can see it on BMX Museum). I know that Mike Miranda, who was a few times in Netherlands tried a Asco in 1986. There is a photo with him on this bike.

Was going to start a new thread but just found this old one, so thought I'd resurrect it to keep all the ASCO stuff together! :daumenhoch:

So I received a delivery of ASCO parts from the Netherlands this week:-





There's a NOS 43T chainring, powerdisc, chainring bolts and a set of "Pro" brake calipers. Does anyone have an idea when any of these came out? I'm particularly trying to find out more about the brakes, which I haven't removed from the og packaging yet but can't see a date code stamped anywhere. Will post some better pics later. Cheers!
