When were Renthals introduced to BMX??
« on: November 16, 2012, 01:53 AM »
Hey my lovely peeps  :daumenhoch:

Am I right in understanding that Renthal bars were first introduced in late '83 early '84 on the British Mongoose Cali's? Or was it the British Supergoose?

All info would be great, thanks

The UK Mongoose factory team were running Renthalls in 1981 :daumenhoch:
A long time ago, in a land far away!

I bought a set of Renthals off a Ginger Ammaco/Goose rider in 82  :-X
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

Great information guys, thank you. I didn't realise they started using them as early as 1981  :shocked:

Now, does anyone know the decal/sticker differences on the crossbar  ::)  :-*  ;D
