 ===== Cook Brothers  Overview =====
 Craig and Gary Cook made some of the finest BMX parts and bicycles from 1972 -> 1992 (([[http://mombatbicycles.com/MOMBAT/BikeHistoryPages/Cook_Bros.html|mombat]])). Joe Breeze sourced Cook Bros. forks on his early Breezers (([[https://bikerumor.com/2014/09/24/ib14-breezer-2-we-interview-joe-breeze-about-the-second-mountain-bike-ever-made/|bikerumor interview with Joe Breeze]]))

+===== 1978 Cruiser =====
+Pure BMX/26" cruiser.  Derailleurs are added a little later and this cruiser probably doesn't belong in the timeline, except to show the progression of BMX to MTB as riders converted cruisers & klunkers to offroad machines.  Cruisers like this weren't raced down repack but were quite capable. Serial #314, SunTour V GT Luxe (1977-82), looptail frame.

 ===== 1979 Cook Bros. Mountain Bike =====
