Boogie Bikes

Ron Miller, of Nevada City, California, opened the Tour of Nevada City Bicycle Shop when he was still a teenager and soon started welding Boogie Bikes mountain and possibly an occasional BMX bike1). A successful racer, he claimed the state road title at age 20, and road with Greg Lemond for the Palo Alto Cycling Club and Avocet. Boogie Bikes were made perhaps from 1982 until 1984, when Ron passed away, aged 26, from cancer.

Although, as Ron was a road racer, he likely made some road bikes as well.
