remember the lay backs,shimanos in anodised red or blue mounted down the cw,s(which were sooooooooo wide)that you could hardly reach them
my bro then got a mongoose which was nicked outside maccys (plice did not know who done it )but the fair was in town that week

I had a chopper back in the day. I ended up painting it blue & putting bits of tape on the spokes (as you do) before the handlebars snapped on day as I went round a corner. It ended up in the skip. Wish it had been welded together now..but was only bout 15 at the time. (Why is it that years later you always think "Hmm..should have done this instead?)

was never into bikes as a kid, not until 16 anyway.

would love to buy a pk ripper or a raleigh burner and race them.

got a kona chute at the moment, and a intense tazer frame (broken) and a intense m1 frame (broken) as well
