What was the first BMX frame to come with (welded on) Brake lugs?
SaMAlex:
I was talking to Johann yesterday and today about which was the first BMX frame to come with brake lugs (U-brake I guess, but canti lugs might make a good parallel question).
I know that GT and Haro were both doing U-brakes on frames in the mid-to-late 80s (and they both stopped putting them on frames in the early 90s). And there was also a whole wave of people doing it again in the early 90s.
Johann remembers seeing photos of an early Street Beat (proto?) that had brake lugs.
Anyone got any suggestions?
SaMAlex:
Oh, Ive found a photo of a Street Beat with brake lugs. I dont know much about Street Beats but I think this is a later frame, right?

I nicked this off Owen William's facebook, he saw it in a shop window in London a while back. It looks like an 85/86
Alex has just made a good point
"That one defo looks factory fit, what with all the cable guides. All the other pics that came up on google search didnt have mounts. Im also sure I saw them on a real early Vander prototype frame."

Torker were at it in 86 with the 540 air

Good call - wasn't expecting that
Are we allowed to put museum links here? There's an 86 on the museum
