contact Lionel - carbizguy on eBay. I think he was the one who bought the 27 frames and misc. other items. He beat me by about 20 min on the whole package. He is eBaying them slowly.

I thik they were based in Tenn, Kentucky or for sure a Southern stat. Not really well known and they were not around long.

I have some Rebel bars, a Rebel helmet and some Rebel Zap pads that will be hitting eBay tonight (not made by Rebel).

Very cool unique stuff, you being from the South should have a Rebel!!

Thanks for the info...I will try and contact him...How much for the bars and zaps??

basically, the first rebel was a san antonio company owned by Bernie Anderson of ABA fame. Whatever happened after it was sold I could not tell 'ya.

What my neighbor Pat said..... Make sure to get a Saber number plate to go with it so you will look like Racer Yomens of South Texas racing fame.

I snagged one when a customer brought it in as a trade-in, and then I sold it to PQuinn.

Richard Lamb was their local pro in the Houston area.

from what i understand Rebel was here in Houston from 81-84 and closed down.
but yea they are hard to come by. i've had my chrome rider since new and the other 2 from abhout the same time period late 84 i'm thinking. i know when i bought mine they said it was one of the last off the line before the company closed.

Hey guys,

I had a friend here in RI that rode for Rebel Racing back in 1981 he was a B-Pro and his name was Paul Develario.

Paul was about 6'+ tall and pretty fast...

We had a great b-pro class and a lot of super fast experts that were from RI, Ma, and CT that rode the NEBA (New England Bicycle Association) back in the day!

Nice, very nice. never seen the looptail version myself, only heard of it. whats in the package partially under the helmet? number plate?

my chrome one came from a local shop here in Pasadena, been the only bike i've ever really liked. i could be wrong on the location, going by what i was told.

i remember them being really popular here in san antonio when i was younger. i think i have a welder that used to make their stuff, i could be wrong about it. i might ask him this week. what was the blacklight company? they were from san antonio also, right?
