Title: BMX Cruiser?
Post by: BMX1973 on March 23, 2015, 04:54 PM

What am I looking to pay for either an 80s or 90s cruiser?  :-\ Normal brands like Mongoose, GT, Redline.  :daumenhoch:

The frames a 1990. The 1st one listed in the museum is 86, it looks as though they stayed the same from then up to 90.
Freeagent was originally set up by Voris dixon around 82, he sold the company. It's still running today.

That is a nice frameset there. I just don't know them.  :-\ My ideal original thoughts was something 80s like a GT, Redline or Mongoose.  :( :)

What sort of spec
For an 80s cruiser you will need to splash some cash, se floval loop tail will be around 6 or 700 quid for frame and forks
Redline PL24 probably the same
Kuwy cruiser frame and forks maybe 500 dependant on model it may be higher
The later the date the cheaper generally

I've got most parts in my stash so could build one up cheap. But would look at a complete. Ideally wanted an 80s as that's my era.  :daumenhoch:

Cruisers seem to demand a premium on the 20 inch versions
They don't come up that often compared to 20 inchers
So plan occordingly
And old 24 inch tyres and bars are always a bit toppy  :)

This is 80s

Might be built in 90 but it IS the same as the 80s frame exactly!
