1984 CW Racing Phaze 1
1984 CW Racing Phaze 1
This is a single owner 1984 CW Phaze 1 with original chrome and stickers, and it does not have CW bars...I know, this probably breaks the law in most states!
This is the CW Phaze 1 I purchased in 1984 from Bicycle World in Howell, NJ right before I turned 12. With funds from my paper route, I sat down with somebody in the shop, and I selected all of the parts and filled out a build sheet (splurging on some parts, saving cash on others). I distinctly remember my mom standing in the shop, pointing at a row of complete bikes and asking, “Why can’t you just pick one of those bikes over there?†I used the bike for about six years before it began to sit in my parent’s garage and later in my basement. I have attempted to bring it back to life using some of the tricks in the Restoration Forum (Coke & aluminum foil cleaned up some of the welds!), and I purchased a few parts to complement the bike. The chrome on the frame & fork is in pretty good shape, the stickers are original and a little worn on the forks, though the chrome on the wheels and bars could stand to be redone. Unfortunately, the CW Racing pads (yellow lettering on a black background) are long gone, but I still have the crossbar pad cover.
Parts & Specs:
CW Phaze 1 Frame & Fork (1984)
Redline Forklifter bars (Originally, the bike had SE Power Wings. I damaged those at some point and put on CW California Freestyle bars just to ride. I recently purchased these Redline bars to go with the stem.)
Redline Forklifter neck (Originally, I had a Tuf Neck stem, and I bought the Forklifter a year or two after initial build.)
Dia Compe MX901 rear brake (These were a part of the original build)
Dia Compe FS880 front brake (I purchased these a year or two after initial build)
A’me Round grips (original build)
Takagi Ultra Dyno 170 mm 3 piece cranks (original build)
Suntour XC-II pedals (Originally, I had KKTs on there, but changed to XC-IIs after the original build)
Shotgun II seat (original build)
SE seat post (original build)
Tuf Neck seat clamp (originally, I had a black Tuf Neck seat clamp. It was damaged, so I recently purchased this one and painted it black).
Ukai Speedline rims with Sunshine sealed hubs (original build)
Duro tires (Of course, the replica Comp IIIs were a recent purchase. Originally, the bike had Comp IIIs, and later it had GT tires. I still have the GTs sitting in my basement.)

I am pretty sure I paid either $420 or $440, but I don't have any of the documentation from the original sale. Those are the numbers I have stuck in my head.
