+===== 1987 Mt. Palomar =====
+Craig Cook, sole owner of Cook Bros. as of the early 1980's, sold the Cook Bros brand to Jack Witmer in 1984 ((See a partial Cook Bros. Racing trademark history history at: [[https://www.fatbmx.com/bmx-bizznizz/item/53781-uspto-tosses-challenge-to-american-bmx-company-s-claim-on-cook-bros-racing-trademark|fatbmx]].)) and
+split from Cook Bros.  He later produced 40 MTB frames under the "Cook Designs" brand starting in 1987.   In this example, the Ritchey Force stem is from 1987, the Shimano XT M730 derailleurs are from 1986-88, the CQP cranks were made by Gary Cook from the same era and are not Cook Bros. cranks.
