Hmmm. . . good eye.
On a guess though, that one is '92-93?
I want to say that it looks stock to my eyes, as the Compe was aimed at Flatlanding? I think the black plastic clip thing hides the drainpipe.
Yes yes, TWHS.
But i am seeing the straight pipe as early as the late 80's.

Boys, take note. This is the Bible of BMX.

If you know the brand and era? You can identify a bike as stock or custom.
It's the SF of BMX. And yes, I am a member. (since before SF)
Good as free money.

My little brother had a Mongoose Decade just like this

I was into road bikes/road racing early and dreamt of riding in the Tour D France when I was 8ish so I never had a BMX bike. I was BMX-adjacent :lol:

I built plenty of jump ramps and stunt ramps tho

Love those Primo 3 pc cranks.
Theyre solid. Some kid called this bike old school due to the older parts.

never felt older!:bored:

plus, I recovered my seat with an old Barbour. I did have the collar on it but that fell off somewhere in the woods.

Yeah, stop being lazy and sell some ****. :lol:

Then hit me up for services to find a vintage Camera for you.
Got a Canonet QL19 sitting here. .And my local "Recycle shops" have them all in abundance. Canon,Ricoh,Konica,etc
I also got one of the first ever with a flash (Mint) floating about here somewhere. .
This thread is Bartertown broheim.
And I can find you a retro Hefty Camera just as you described.
Proxy or trade. :cheers:


Pulled out the ole light tent and took some practice staging shots this afternoon. I hate this camera! Might need to take some pictures of it as well :lol:
