Eric Cartman Posted January 12, 2015 Share Still looking for a classic Mongoose for myself. In the mean while this old Burner has to do. (Was my wife's bike on school) - sorry not allowed to tell how old the Burner is... my son (10) and I have some huge fun on our bikes. You never too old (or tall) to have BMX fun!IMG-20150112-WA0000.jpgCool man! Its always good to have your childhood original bike. That is a huge seat post.

Eric Cartman Posted March 10, 2015 Share So after lots of patience I came across a Pro Class when I did not expect it. The previous owner decided that he needed a change and some blue parts and we struck a trade for the frame. I sacrificed a bit for it but for me it was worthwhile as it completes my 83 collection. This is what the bike looked like many years ago which the owner had a photo of: http://s26.postimg.org/vhdiro6mh/20150221_210341.jpg The day I did the trade I ended up bringing home all of this - it was quite a busy day: http://s26.postimg.org/5ps72gznt/20150221_224504.jpg I got to work on the stuck seat post tube but it didnt want to budge. http://s26.postimg.org/tuswk6jyh/20150223_074537.jpg http://s26.postimg.org/prxa7d0g9/20150223_074543.jpg Eventually a friend of mine helped me with some heat and a vice and managed to get the post out: http://s26.postimg.org/oagf9jl3d/IMG_20150303_WA0019.jpg I immediately decided lets put this bike together with some spares I have and this is the result: http://s26.postimg.org/5n3q1w6mh/20150309_200649.jpg http://s26.postimg.org/a1gsrh6kp/20150309_200720.jpghttp://s26.postimg.org/xtq4308ll/20150309_212007.jpgSorry for the poor quality pics.

I am glad it brought back the good ol' days for you. I am trying to find a kamikaze for a friend of mine as he had one as a kid too. But I am having no luck.
