from this thread: http://www.vintagebmx.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=020530#000000

go over to vintage and search for cook brothers

also search for "cook bros"

Marketed under the name Cook's rather than Cook Bros they did not produce these for very long because the new owner took them to court over design rights.

(and now that I look at these again, I don't know what posessed me to sell them)
