I had 2 bikes...
1979 Redline MX II (color: red) with Redline flight cranks, neck, forks, and V-bars with Araya 20" rims.
1981 Redline Microline (color: chrome) with Redline flight cranks, neck, V-bars, Z-rims.
Every kid in the neighborhood was a BMX bandit. Among us we had Rodger DeCosta, Redline, Mongoose, Hutch, Cook Bros., GT, DiamondBack, Race Inc., and a few others I can't recall (it's been 35 years!).
I mowed lawns and spent it all on my bike until I was about 12.
We used to race at the track on the Westbank.

Yep I went here as well, worked at Southwest Schwin fixing bikes so I could afford my tricked out Redline II

I remember kids talking about Cook Bros. like it was a Bugatti. We had numerous brands but that and no one had actually seen one. It was always someone's friend from school whose cousin had one.

Haha same here. Cook Bros was a mythical beast that we all were aware of but no one ever saw. Kinda like the NeoGeo video game. Which I still don't know if ever existed but I believed was awesomeness.
