These were late 70s BMX bikes. Picture of Sears Screamer below, by the way if anyone knows of one of these for sale let me know.  |

i got the rear wheel on the bike along with the chains and rear slick. the tank, chain guard, and rear fender are out for decals should be back soon.what do you think so far? the wheels are old lester mags that we modified. we got stainless steel disks lazer cut and we made holes in the rims for the bolts and then drilled holes in the disks for the screws. for the front wheel we took a old mountain bike hub that had a disk mount and we cut it from the mountain bike hub, turned it down and made it fit into the front hub of the lester mag. we heated up the hub and freezed the disk mount off the mountain bike hum and pressed them together.after that we took the axel out of a 26 inch mount bike rim and squeezed it in the lester mag. for the back wheel we cut a chunk of billet aluminum turned it down to the correct size for the rear sproket and put holes in the piece and threaded them. after that we brazed the piece to the lester mag and bolted the rear sprocket up. that only the wheels ill tell more later. so how is it?
