All My Bikes: 4, Robinson SST

Robinson SST bicycle drawing

As I got a little more serious with BMX racing I discovered BMX Plus! magazine. I would read each issue cover to cover, over and over. I couldn’t get enough. The down side to my new obsession was that now I was reading about the bikes the pros were riding—and all the different parts. Once you are exposed to that it’s too late—my Diamondback Viper wasn’t going to cut it. It took me a while, but I saved up my lawn-mowing money and purchased a Robinson SST. My first full chromoly frame—made in the US too!

    Hey man,

    This is awesome. My first bmx bike was a Charcoal Grey Robinson SST, I purchased at Pedal Power in Middletown back in 97′. I still have it, and always will! Such a great little bike, made so well. Unlike most of the stuff out there today.
