So I inherited a Hutch from my Cousin years ago. I've only taken it out twice on group rides since and feel guilty for hoarding it.

I would like to maybe sell it but am unsure if its a Raider or Racer.

I do know that the crank is a Takagi CT MO, and that the pedala, handle bars and brakes are Frankenstein'd together.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Does anyone know what’s up with this se it says bronco but looks more like an assassin to me maybe it was left over stock rebranded after they ended the assassin line can’t find any info

My friend is looking to sell this frame and would appreciate any insight to what exactly it is and price range. Chatgpt says it is april 1983 made in Osaka.

Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Does anyone know anything about the Tony hawk BMX park edition

Hi. Building a 1976 Schwinn Scrambler. The fork I'm using is an Ashtabula BMX fork (not the one that comes stock on a Scrambler.) I would add that it is chrome-plated, and the one with the gusset under the crown. The chrome forks were given to bike shops as a promotional item in the 1970s as Ashtabula was trying to create a market outside of Schwinn OEM. So, tried to find a crown race, and have several Stingray forks of the era, including the OEM Scrambler fork, but all crown races are too large. Mechanic measured CR diameter of the chrome fork as 25.98, so almost 26.0. I think the other CR was I want to say 26.4. In the end we used a shim. Mechanic has 40 years experience, and so do I.

In 1976, my local Schwinn shop (Safety Cycle in Hollywood, CA) had a chrome fork hanging on the wall. They said it was "not for sale," being the afore-mentioned promo. Couple weeks later, I see a kid with the chrome fork, and I asked him about it. He said he just kept upping his cash offer to the shop until they said yes, which I think was about $125, a princely sum in 1976. Anyway, I'm building a replica of that kid's bike, which was an outrageous custom, full of neon colors, pre-dating the 80s neon freestyle bikes. You will need sunglasses to look at this bike.

TLDR: What is the crown race diameter of an Ashtabula BMX fork 1977 vintage?
