That is a cool bike.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks! Not sure I'm ready to race again, but it sure is fun jumping curbs and bunny-hopping puddles!
I raced a Hutch 20", too, back when everyone was using cro-mo, it was all aluminum. It was under 10lbs total race weight...
Thanks! Thinking of putting a set of these on it, just for nostalgia, but I'd have to sell more truck parts :devil:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

WOW!!! Those look crazy expensive but very cool. :cool:
Personally, I'd save the money for your new Blazer, but that's just me.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

That is sweet, I just quit riding a few years ago. Check your PMs...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

They're about $200, so not too bad, but yeah, all play money for a while will be going towards a Blazer. May be liquidating some other assets to support that, too, but it will be worth it. Like you guys said, gotta get while the gettin's good!
Dude, that vid was awesome. No way I'd be trying those kinds of moves now. I finally realized I wasn't invincible sometime in my late twenties. :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

YouTube? Can you post a link to the vid? Always fun watching the crazy things peeps do. In the greater Seattle area, we ride mt. bikes at Duthie Hill. It's a small scale Whistler, only we have to pedal uphill. :D Here's a linky: http://duthiemtb.com/

-Just another guy finally realizing his mortality (it hurts to crash now! :lol:)

I had a Profile BMX from back in the day. When I decided I wanted a dedicated downhill bike I thought I should sell the Profile to help offset the cost. I put it on craigslist for $250 and within a half hour the phone was ringing off the hook. I had a bidding war on craigslist! I sold it the next day for $450 and the guy that bought it told me I could have gotten $1000 on ebay. Oh well, I was happy and I got my new downhill bike. If you've never taken your bike up the chairlift in the summer you are missing out on some big fun.

I'll throw in my thumbs-up on the bike too. "Cruiser" class I think they called it back when I raced. I was little then, too small for a bike like that. But I often find myself wishing I had one now...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Do it! This thing took 20 years off just by pedaling around the block. They have 24 and 26 inch cruisers, too if the 29er is too big. Fits my gargantuan self perfectly :lol:

More in common than just trucks! Love it. I raced a Panda Pro Am back in the late 70's-early 80's...the beginning. I've got two vintage SE bikes; a Quadangle and a Floval Flyer. My nephew's got my GT Pro Performer. I switched to Mountain (and then added road and track bikes) when even the 24" cruiser class seemed small.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Sweet. You know they're making the floval and quad again? You can get a 29er quadangle! There's also a sweet limited edition flyer with white mags :drool:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I know! I'm digging the larger quad, but I'm pi$$ed because the worth, and even interest in the old school ones tumbled after the SE name was bought, revived, and they started pumping out new-old ones! Oh well, it wasn't an investment, just good to be reliving, and affording what was an awesome part of my youth.
Before SE returned, there was a company selling 24" Quadangles on ebay that gained a bit of a cult following. I think they made 26" as well. Can't remember the name.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Uh-oh... Gringo's back in a Blazer. More to come once I get home with it :D

Looks nice! The photo looks like it could have been taken in 72.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

DANG Gringo, Nice!

Love the interior, you need to keep that.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Wow Beautiful Blazer you got. Can't wait to see some more pictures of it.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

WOW...love ....really dig the interior !

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Very cool! I had a Redline with mags when I was jumping dirt hills. Man, those were the days.
Looked a lot like THIS

Congrats on the Blazer!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Are you seeing some other pics? I can't tell much from the one above....

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

no just that one....but i can see the PLAID ! and i like it ! LOL

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

< use to be hardcore into flatland bmx freestyle and a few bikes (diamondback viper, 3 hutch trickstars, Haro sport, Haro master, Skyway T/A)

I got to ride and hang out with Scott Freeman, Kevin Jones, Eddie Roman. The Skyway tour use to come to town every year.

On another note, I was hoping to see what your C-10 was going to look like with a dropmember.. Cause I'm still thinking of doing the wheels you have.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Yes, cheby, it's a Highlander! Super original, unmolested (for now). Driving her back from Denver, so if you see me driving, wave a hand; if you see me stopped, lend a hand :lol:
