Description of my childhood Cycle Pro for sale on eBay
Raw
cyclepro.md

Original owner selling his childhood blue Cycle Pro Shot Gun. This bike was the pride of my childhood. It has been in storage since the late 80's. All original parts except for the tires and brake lines. The seat cover had never been off until today when I took the photos. The bike is in good condition and wasn't abused. I always took care of my stuff as a kid. It has some wear on the pedals and hand grips. The decals are all still on and original. I've always loved the blue color with blue rims and blue tires with tan sidewalls.

Many parts on this bike are pretty rare:

  • Blue Sugino GT crank with matching blue pedals and the all chrome frame.
  • This style of Dia Compe brakes with aluminum pad holders
  • The crank lever says 8 170 GC 5. Not sure what that means, but maybe you do.
  • The main crank gear says BMX 44.
  • The pedals say HTI Taiwan.

The serial number on the rear dropout is 2831600. The other side has G1182 stamped in. I think that means this bike was produced in November of 1982, which sounds about right based on when I got the bike when it was new.
