1983 Tahoe was expanding into the hot 24" Cruiser class with a
similar front end, non-loop rear, and Torker like forks made by
Coast Wheels, CW. The handling of this bike is great,
strong, and took the abuse dished out by the team. The
Team's Blue, Green, and White color combination was unique and
trying to get that same feel with the cruiser.
A year later Jack decided to head to Phoenix and sold the company to
the Taylor's from Indiana. They continued to make the
Tahoe's but included a mini and newly designed 24" cruiser
frame. These are distinguished by a hole in the rear
dropouts vs. the solid Minnesota ones.
Not too many of these guys around and glad to be able to share
some Minnesota BMX with everyone! Relive the Tahoe years
with a Tahoe T-shirt as seen below by my wife and I! Just
E-mail me your size and will ship it out $15 + shipping.
