1981 Cook Bros Racing (Euro Bottom Bracket) build
« on: July 29, 2012, 02:35 PM »
So I have recently sold some stuff basically as I am not a rich man, I needed to sell some bikes to fund my new builds.

You have all seen my R&R CR-1, well this is the other bike I have been building and when you see the parts list you will see why I needed to sell some stuff.

This is basically my dream bike, my holy grail if you want.

The first BMX I ever saw when I moved to the US when I was a kid was a full Cook Bros that was in a local bike shop, needless to say I wanted it but never got it, LOL.

So it has only taken me 31 years to finally get that bike.

Here it is in the flesh, a 1981 Cook Bros Pro with a euro bottom bracket and in built chain tensioners.

It is the original chrome on the frame and forks, it also has a early Cook slanted stem, Cook Bros bars, Cook Bros hubs, Cook Bros cranks, Cook Bros padset, Cook Bros seatpost clamp and Cook Bros straight seatpost (and I have a Cook Bros braced layback but I don't like it no matter how much I try).

Other parts are a Spencer alloy rims, leather Kasimax MX, Cycle Pro pedals, Sugino chainwheel, Oury grips, Dia-compe 1020 caliper with DC pre-bent lever.

Oh yeah, customised USA flag/Cook Bros bike stand as I know Ash would be really annoyed if I left it standard  ;) ;D

Hope you like it, I love it.

Yes I know that is 2 bikes in chrome that I have produced this year, maybe I am a convert at last  :LolLolLolLol:

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Thanks for the nice comments fella's.

I know however the chainring is a bit controversial, but I was reading a BMX Action test of the very same frame as this one from bitd and they had the same chainring and I liked the look.
