1982 Supa Roo

1982 Suparoo Kangaroo Gusset. This is a rare South Australian made bike.


Back in the 80's a couple of my friends had these and we didn't think much of them at the time.Now i realise what a true piece of South Australian BMX'ing history it is!Another one of the early BMX's that i wanted, but never had..
NOW I HAVE ONE :)
Big thanks to Salali for putting so much effort and attention to detail into the build, and for selling it to me![b]

Re: 1982 Supa Roo

Hey there mate the bike looks fantastic, just wondering i have just found my old suparoo down the back shed i thought my old man threw it out. Its the same year as this .

i was looking to get the stickers for it and i was wondering if you knew where to get them

and if you have any tips on restoring it , where to get parts etc

i will get a photo on line as soon as i work out how to do it

Cheers Hutcho

Re: 1982 Supa Roo

wow, never heard of this brand, but I can say its very sweet and looks super cool. you need to just lower that stem and pick up the front of that seat. did they ever make a cruiser in this model.
