Title: When were Renthals introduced to BMX??
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on November 16, 2012, 01:53 AM: Hey my lovely peeps :daumenhoch:

Am I right in understanding that Renthal bars were first introduced in late '83 early '84 on the British Mongoose Cali's? Or was it the British Supergoose?

All info would be great, thanks

:daumenhoch:
