What was the first BMX frame to come with (welded on) Brake lugs?

It's unusual as I've not seen another 86 Street beat with lugs and don't appear to be able to find another online. I'm guessing this was a small production run, rather than a one off, anyone clarify?
The Sports with lugs were 87

the serial number on mine says 85 but they came out in 86

Ahh right. It's a shady memory, I just remember the brake being down below on my mate's decade. It seemed "futuristic" at the time.. ;D

The late 80s performers had 990s (is the one in this pic an 87?)
I heard that in the early 90s GT stopped putting Brake mounts on bikes because "kids" were having problems setting up U-brakes.
Sidepull brakes gave their bike shops much less problems. :idiot2:

Just so we got pics of them all, here are the 1987 Haro Sport and Master.
It is beginning to look like 87 was the year that brake mounts started (even if Haro and GT stopped using them for a while)

Yes I remeber that GT now, thet were the ones that came in neon pink weren't they?
Did the U-brake come from mtb's? I had a peugeot mtb in the very late 80's that had a shimano rear u-brake but this thread suggests that u-brakes had been around for a couple of years by then...
So come on then, who made the first u-brake? And for which specific bike??
