That frame looks rather unusual - Could be worth searching google images for 'BMX' till you find something that looks similar. Also the detail of the front gusset looks very unsusual. Not sure if its cosmetic or for strength at the headset. I note the headset has a detangler for the rear brake line, and a Potts mod for the front brake line. However there are no brake pads on the front calipers, so its not going to stop very well. Saddle needs replacing or recovering, and you need air in that front tyre. Based on handlebar angle, the previous rider was way too big for the bike.
I'm no BMX expert but based on the construction I'd guess 2000s for the age. Sorry for no better info.
A friend of mine who owns a shop pulls this bike out the back room he says he KNOWS I won't have ever heard of before. An RL Osborne Bully. Funny thing, he was WRONG. He would have been more correct to say that I have never SEEN one before in person. It is in pretty fair shape and complete save for a few rim dents in the rear. What is it worth?
Mar 07, 2011 Bully serial numbers I have 2 Bully FST frames and forks, first is a piston freestyle serial number VICIJ00851,and a HAMMER with serial number HIGI00355, any help on where they were made and what year would be appreciated. Purchased bike. Stickersays bmx pro 1974 trying to use serial # to see if this is really a bmx pro 1974 As far as I know 'BMX Pro' is not a brand/model. Whatever the brand.
It has the RL neck, frame and forks, Skyway seat, 48's and a few other cool parts. Was this available as a whole bike or pieced together? Any interest before it gets Ebayed? Yeah, it was available as a complete bike.
As was mentioned before, I've heard lots about the quality control issues. Is it the bashgaurd model, or no? I think maybe Pauly has one. Of course its worth money, but it'll be worth more if those 48's are Peregrine Super Pros. Sorry all, these are old images from a scanner that was on its last leg. No time to find and re-scan right now.
PS(I wouldn't give TOO much credit to Bullys as a flatland bike. Perry Mervar could make it look good on a Huffy Sigma. I remember the first time I saw/rode one of those bash bullys' I was staying at Hal Brindleys place in Williamsburg Va. He had an olive one.
While he attended his classes at William & Mary, he let me ride it around town. Keep in mind Hal didnt use a post or seat on his bikes so I was a bit sketched at first but believe it or not I had one of the raddest street sessions ever on that thing. Chromey, funny you mentioned the red/black bike of Perry's. I rode that when he stayed at Hal's for a contest and was horrified at how rickety & crooked it felt. I dont know how he even rode in a straight line lol! I ended up getting the flatland complete bike for christmas from an ex g-friend.
Josh you nailed it, those things sucked big time. I still think they look cool though.
I have a bash frame I want to build up, does anyone have a Bully chainring for me?
