      Bought it of cl a couple of years ago. Did a full resto on it. Everything is period no reproduction parts.
      I had a kid in the neighborhood that had one like it that I was always envious of.
      My son really dig it.
      I've also got a 79 powerlite that I'm about to start. I got it for my tenth birthday and have held on to it since. This time I'm putting all the parts on it I couldn't afford back then. Lol

            I once had a Mattel V-rroom bicycle. Bike was all chrome, rear shocks, gas tank, and very heavy. The very small front spocket made it easy to peddle, but top end sucked.

            I also had the optional V-rroom motor


            Looked allmost like this one.

                I hate to admit it but I could probably put a hole motorcycle motor together quicker than it took me to put that damn coaster brake back together.

                      My Uncle has a krate bike I keep telling him to restore or sell. Instead it just sits and rots away...

                        I wasn't into the BMX thing but some buddies were big time, one had a Hutch Trickstar I think and the other a Mongoose, the guy with the hutch lived on a buffalo farm, had a halfpipe in the barn.
                        I was just getting into rc about then after a couple years of control line also had a Honda mini-trail 70.
                        If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
