Thrusters, a Champion & a few bits & bobs
« on: May 16, 2012, 11:32 PM »
4 boxes arrived today full of nice little goodies..............  :daumenhoch:

Bit of Thruster history nicked off 'the museum'  
Originally manufactured by "Speed Unlimited" the company lasted 1980 thru 1988 approx.
In fact, Speed Unlimited made the early Hutch frames.
The Thruster "Tri Power" Frame and Fork set, was the main product,
although Thruster made bars, cruisers and even pedals.

Scuse the crap pics!

'Thruster' stickered up mini.  Any ideas what frameset it could be??  ::)






Thruster Tri Power, 83ish








Mini Champion or just mini forks?




and some other bits

Thruster actually started in 78' not 80' & a fave w/NJ riders like myself being as the factory was about 20 mins from my house oh & the fact that they made really cool bikes! I had a TJ replica BITD but now on the look out for a Tri Power XL.Anyone got one???   Thrusters rule!!!
Nice score Andy!

The mini in the first pic looks like a Rickman mini with MRD forks.

Is it welded or brazed? :daumenhoch:
