John's 1984 JMC Racing Darrell Young BMX Bike

An amazing looking 1984 JMC Racing Darrell Young edition BMX bike is today’s Bike Of The Day!! This beauty was submitted by John and I have to give him big props for taking some great photos of the bike! This one is a stunner. Give it a review via the sliders in the comments.

This bike is not restored. It is an original finish survivor from my racing days. It is special to me and I never parted with it. ,Aside from tires, grips, and pads, and bars, the parts are original. Even the tubes, rim strips, and chain. The bars, grips, and pads were sourced in 2002. ~John
