I thought I had my vote destination sorted back at page 2 or 3. Now 5 pages and umpteen fantastic bikes later I'm going to have to dig out my thinking head.

Hey Chris,Now in full detail in the readers rides
This is my first post so why not enter a bike?
1984 Cook Bros. Bonzo Fury. Full CBR kit including the crank, bottom bracket, hubs, and very rare mtn. handlebars. The rest is built with Dear-Head except for Suntour freewheel. Oh the seat-post wich is original is a Nitto made Shimano 600 EX. Stem is a CBR modified Nitto made Tioga BMX stem. I changed the brake levers from the original Deer-Heads to the Tomaselli motorcycle levers. The pieces that are out of place were things I changed to make it better suited for actual use: Pedals, seat, seat QR, and Euclid cable hangers(love these). Bike was fully rebuilt with new Phil Wood bearings throughout. Original Hatta BMX headset was replaced with a new Sealed bearing version of the same headset "the Kongo". Still running the original brake pads and cables. Just cleaned and re-lubed. Headtube decal is a BMX version I added. These bike never had decals. One of a handful of non BMX bikes to come out of the factory. My 2nd favorite bike to ride the trails with. Climbs like a mule.
BTW: Hi my name is Chris and I'm an addict. I look forward to not getting the help I need to stop here at RetroBike.
Do you still have the Bonzo Fury? I realize this is an old thread but it would be cool to see some photos, I am currently building up a Bonzo fury and I have been looking for original build photos. Thanks
