good find
they must have stopped using that mangaloy light weight steel  in 85.
and started using solid bar as my breakdancer was a tank.

The mag that these adverts came from is the earliest I have. I have a few American mags but the next one is 1983.
Bmx Action Bike only started in 82, has anyone got any OBMX magazines, don't think there were many, there might be something in those.

If you like a good ole scorpion then you'll love the scans I will get ya of their factory,I have a BMX Plus mag that did a story on their factory BITD,if you dig them you should enjoy it. :daumenhoch:

Luckily I found it in the second mag I looked thru,it's from BMX Plus Feb 82.
I can email ya bigger scans if ya want,photobucket auto resized them due to their pic size limit. :daumenhoch:


Imagine that,powder coating back in 82. :shocked:
