The decals on them used the bike shops name, Peddlepower. In 1977 it appears they released their first production bike, the SR. Dennis went on to fame racing for Redline and Cooks Bros. Early riders included вЂњThe Red BaronвЂќ himself, Dennis Dain. Being close to such a early and famous track helped launch the shop into sponsoring a team. It was pretty much the same bike after that point.The bike shop was run by Steve Rink.

So, the new Pro XL frame that was created for Charles was jigged off of the FreeAgent Limo frame that I was racing at the time. It was especially sketchy for large framed riders. The XL Pro PowerLite frame was very strangely configured in its geometry and came with a rather spindly fork. I want to say that was more like 1990.ДЄ little bit of trivia, I was also a test rider for many of the BMX racing frames and parts. I know that Charles Townsend had to race a few races in the old PowerLite jersey until our new designs were finished and printed. IвЂ™m not entirely sure that the top photo is chronologically accurate. I was employed in the GT Bicycles art department from 1988-1990, and freelanced with them until 1993. It is amazing that the logo and model names have remained fairly the same after all this time. I also designed all the team uniforms of that era, until about 1990 and created the naming convention of WWII airplanes for each frame.

I am the art director that designed the PowerLite logo and model year decals after they were acquired by GT in 1989. Interesting posts here that bring me back.

Due to popular demand I will do one page dedicated to the GT era of Powerlite.
