That Kos is the bee’s knees! I’m 54 and remember the first time i saw a Kos in a bike store in the 80’s. It was like seeing a ufo! My mate and I couldn’t take our eyes off it. Being 6’2 my 20” Aussie built quicksilver was uncomfortable. I bought a Kos handlebar because that was all i could afford and converted my 10 speed. I no longer have the bars but kept the cool dia compe moto style levers which are on one of my bikes. I do have a 2012 raw reissue which is a great bike and hope to get an original some day. My quicksilver looked very much like this one.

My 81/82 champion
A long time ago my friend bought all the stamped, cut and mitered tubing from champion crane in 82 everything was put in a storage container and they stopped producing bmx frames,forks and bars.fast forward to brian purchasing it.sal correa from se racing made new jigs from original frames.there was a couple small production runs 5 or 6 years ago.they were powder coated at electro plate in signal hill ca.they did the original se racing stuff as they were neighbors.there was 20,24 and 26 inch framesets made.all with nos decals.actually about to do another run.takes a long time.hand made by one dude.

Bottema fork.i believe it to be an earlier true torch made replica.its not stamped anywhere like the others ive seen.its also too nice and clean on the chrome to be original.and im not lucky enough to score a real one.
