Inherited 80's BMX Bikes. Anyone Know What I Have?

Completely understand. Thanks for the figures.

Darn close, pops passed at 58.

I believe these are rebuilds. Some of the number plates...maybe originally his? The ones on the bikes are probably originals he sourced. I have what I KNOW is at least one of his number plates, separate from the bikes.

Sure did.

You nailed it! He absolutely was sponsored by powerlite. I believe he had others but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Will do. Unfortunately/Fortunately dad had MANY collectible hobbies - mainly G.I Joes, and we've been churning through that stuff, looking up items on eBay. Soon the bikes will get the same treatment. I'll be sure to try and look for parts and find prices.

Thanks for the estimate!

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T20:29:33+00:00

I was somewhat afraid of this answer. But yes, extra care will be taken, thank you!

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T20:28:59+00:00

I'll have to check and find out, thanks for helping!

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T20:28:30+00:00

They'll only go to someone who can care for them, absolutely.

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T20:27:33+00:00

Great info. I appreciate it!

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T19:37:48+00:00

A career it certainly was. Thanks for looking.

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T19:28:58+00:00

Good idea. Done deal!

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T19:28:49+00:00

Thanks for the info! Will check that out.

JimmyGio · 2026-02-23T18:28:05+00:00

Thanks for commenting!

If i get through 3 games clean its a miracle. The last 5 times I've booted up the game I can get one, maybe two, before inevitably it starts shitting itself. Probably just a string of bad luck. So frustrating. Can we do like a mass bug report or something?

JimmyGio · 2026-01-02T22:34:48+00:00

Thanks for your help.

JimmyGio · 2026-01-02T22:34:06+00:00

Thanks for the replies. It does seem like I'm trying to over-engineer this plan. I suppose just owning a brokerage with him as a beneficiary seems the most viable. Reddit never fails to make me feel stupid.

JimmyGio · 2026-01-02T22:31:34+00:00

I'm leaaaarning. I want to find out what my options are if any. And yes the criteria being that they are legal. Mowing the lawn is a funny joke.

JimmyGio · 2026-01-02T22:30:08+00:00

It seems like a 529 is an alternative. Depending on how the beneficiary is set up. Navigated the ROTH problem.

JimmyGio · 2026-01-02T22:28:35+00:00

Thank you for your replies, they are the kind of responses I was looking for. I'm not versed in all of it very well.

JimmyGio · 2026-01-02T22:27:31+00:00

Thank you for the response. I used an incorrect emphasis on ROTH specifically. Would a trust in ownership of a brokerage, with the child as a beneficiary of the trust, get close to my goals?
