1982 Champion Cruiser

Champion made 20 inch, 24 inch and 26 inch MX bikes (shown here is a two-six). Their trademark frame design was the added tube between the top and down tubes, an updated style reminiscent of the pre-war twin tube balloon tire frames. The handlebars on this bike are actually motorcycle motocross bars purchased at a motorcycle shop. In 1982 there were only a couple of decent cruiser bars on the market and if you didn't have access to them you were stuck with too tall BMX bars or too wide / low profile beach cruiser bars.
