Post your pics of 26" bmx cruisers

[cyclingday]

Yes, definitely every bit as good as the Cook Bros stuff, but a fraction of the price these days.
I totally understand the umbrage at reproducing these frames, but if you just want a great 3 Bar Cruiser to ride, it’s hard to beat the quality and the price of one of these.
The ship has sailed on an original Cook Bros Cruiser for me, so this bike represents the next best thing.
Plus, the guys shop is only a couple of miles away.
He’s got all kinds of Made in America going on over there, and you’ve got to love that!

My recent purchase: 26” 82 KOS Kruiser, OG frame, forks, bars and Araya wheels. Low 2 digit serial number, man this is a keeper!

I think 82 model may actually a two-six rather than a Kos.

Kos was a frame n fork only in 80,both in 81 and became the two six in 82.83 it was gone.

Jason is correct. No info that can be proven. But story is 100 were made in Chula Vista Ca. by a bicycle welder on his own time. There is no name on them and although there are numbers on the bottom bracket they seem to be random. People that know more than me say there are only about 20 known. Looks like they were sold as a frame only. There were two NOS frames still in the box sold at a swap meet several years ago.

According to BMX products there is no actual date the KOS ended and the 2/6 began, except the KOS decals ended when Jeff left Mongoose for Redline, which was March of 82. My frame is Jan 82. and it’s believed to be a KOS.
