What was the first BMX frame to come with (welded on) Brake lugs?
emerbmx:
I'd like to publicly apologise for getting over excited and trying to tell you about bolt on centre pull brakes when it has nothing to do with welded on brake lugs. :D With that out the way-
86 Torker and 86 Street beat are currently the earliest examples of BMX frames with brake lugs?
Any one know which one was first or if there's anything earlier?
Discostu:
I thought there were earlier bmx's that had mounts with Suntour Cunningham roller cams. Not a u brake but still used frame mounts. :daumenhoch:

Mongoose had 'em on their ATB's in 1985. And I'm guessing but if the Roller cam came out 82ish, then welded lugs on ATB's might have appeared around '83?

Ammaco issued myself and glyn lewis with prototype frames at the end of 85 they had lugs on the underside of the chainstays and also on the forks, I hadn't seen them before so I took it to a local road bike shop but they didn't have any brakes to fit.

Yeah, good point. Didnt Hutch have a weld-on mount Roller cam front brake?
The same one that Standard had on a few prototype forks in the 90s.

Thats way cool, very interesting. Strange that Ammaco would put mounts on when the brakes werent really available. I wonder where they got the details of the mounts and the idea to use them. Esp as not many (if any) other bikes were using them in 1985
