Who Owns The Oldest BMX On RAD?
kungfunky:
I'd say definitely wire as per photo. Not 100% sure what year motomags came out but I believe the action shot was in 74
GRAB ON KID:
Motomags came out in 74'.OL Snaggletooth was a test rider for Bmx Products & RL being the main badass on Rick's team & Rick was one of the first guys to get motomags.I'm sure that front is a motomag Ash.You can tell by the hub & can defo see the motomag spoke pattern in the pic.The rear looks to be wire though. :daumenhoch:
Retrodan72:
The knowledge you guys have stored away is outstanding. :daumenhoch:

Another interesting point is that Jeff says the bike he has (which is the action shot bike) is a 74, where's Rick Twomey says it's definitely a 73 and still has the receipt from Redline.
Looking closer at the pic your right on the hub section. As always throughout the early days parts were developed / tested and swapped out on a regular basis with the riders.
Dan RAD has a plethora of hidden knowledge and it's only when questions like yours are asked do we get to see some of it :daumenhoch:
The Redline in the pic is the very first hard tail BMX. A bit off topic but nice to touch on the early stays a little.

Ricks Bike Shop Race Team circa 1973
John Palfreyman, Tom Lund, Doug Takahashi and no idea of the kid on the right.
