along with supercross; kappa were the first companies to make limited runs of retro framesets

Suppercross did the Skunk Quads 24 & 26 project also the Nomorea's and  26 gjs retro frames

Kappa did various including the hutch retro's and pk but they also sold a cutom service to tweak / order your frames with different styles (profile 3 bar etc.)

And Jessie Vargas - Jumped on the bandwaogon with VRP racing and ripped off loads of people to the turn of thousands (however if you were lucky enough to get one of his frames they were amazing - as they were fabricated by Sal - who used to be one of the main welders for SE back in the day)

Later came JC (Johny Chopper) and Knight

I have two Kappa BMX frames for sale. Both frames are candy blue. The 20" is the K20 loop tail. The 24" is the pierced top tube M24. These have been sitting in my spare bedroom for about 4 years. Both frames were raced for about 1 season and have a few national wins on them. They have a little bit of wear and tear to the decals. You are welcome to email me if interested ken.spring@belmont.edu

I know what these frames are worth, and I don't need to sell them. However, I figure someone may appreciate them more than I do as they are rarely seen out of the spare room. I will take pictures and email them if there is interest.

here's the owners profile http://www.vintagebmx.com/community/index.php's=6f3d68b4a9b3bf9ba7b2a12ca5215e57&showuser=2358
