That picture kicks ass in my opinion.  Corona track mid 70's Rick Courteau (#66) on A Webco.  Robby "Dirtclod" O'Hare on another Webco.  Harry Leary on a JMC and some guy I can't remember on a Panda wearing an International BMX association jersey which was the sanctioning body that Steve Rink (later of pedalpower and Powerlite fame.) Steve Rink used to run Corona at the time.

Do like a webco rick. I have one of the modern versions from when Nico does(ex world champion) bought the name and started webco bycicles here in holland. Would still love to own an OG webco though. Like the motomags, nice touch.

If they were as strong as they weighed... they're very strong!
