Today’s Bike Of The Day is a BOSS 20in, Oakland Era build sent in by Eric Spears of Truth BMX Products! I was just talking about how I wanted to see a classic BOSS featured on the series and now we have it! Give this bike a rating for the December Bike Of The Month and 2020 Bike Of The Year charts.
I own a few Boss bikes but this one is special to me because I built this when I was 16 years old working at McDonald’s. I remember taking my two weeks pay check to buy these boss cranks. This bike is still 90% all original from day one. The main reason I started riding a boss is because of the late great Cecil John’s. He was my BMX hero. There were other guys that influenced me to ride a boss names like the legend Darwin Griffin, Greg Romero and Terry “MR. T” Tenette. Someone ask me to sell him this bike and my response was I’m taking this one to the Grave with me. I still have my pants and Jersey that I raced with on the same bike. The other jersey in the picture was Cecil’s personal Jersey that was given to me by his brother Ozzy Johns. R.I.P Cecil Johns.
