The source crop is preserved, not hidden
The top of the supplied right-hand page is missing. The archive marks every affected passage and does not manufacture the absent wording.
Cruiser-points wording receives a scope note
The quiz answer is True in the 1981 Pro Cruiser points context. Cruiser racing existed before 1981, so the answer is not presented as the first existence of any cruiser class.
JMC is retained with contextual evidence
The surviving source fragment connects JMC with the stylish-rider discussion associated with the pants question, but the sentence opening is cropped.
Bob Morgan evidence is separated by strength
“Trash Can” Bob Morgan is supported by a period BMX Action article index. The no-footer/one-hander answer is retained as Bob Morgan with an explicit cropped-source warning.
