1980 was the rage for 26" cruisers and this bike was originally
owned by our famous BMX starter Gary Erdman. Gary raced
for Team Tremco a Minnesota based team which turned into Rondo,
then Tahoe. This frame and fork was personally given to
Gary Erdman from Gary Cook.
Kept the bike original but thought it would be
neat to match up the CBR pit with the Cruiser at the Rockford
event. Decided to drop the Green and black for the
traditional Blue, Chrome, and White of Cook Bros.
Everything is Cook Bros. and yes those are NOS Cycle Pro
Snakebelly tires on NOS UKAI rims.
This bike was 2nd place for the Cruiser bike category at the
2009 Rockford Vintage gathering.
1st place and Best in Show at the 2009 Ottawa IL. gathering.
Hope you enjoy another historical ride.
