Too cool. I love those rams horn handlebars. I remember them well. A kid in the neighborhood had one. Is one of those shifters for the back brake?

Love these bikes. I had a Schwinn "pea picker" with a mile high sissy bar and a 5speed shifter growing up. It was uncool during the dawn of the BMX...but I loved it. Thanks for posting the cool pics njsteve!
