What was your favourite bmx in 1983?
Seems for most kids that regularly read bmx bi weekley that the big desirable favourite in the UK was none other than the good old Raleigh Aero Pro burner.

Swwweeeeet.

Best poodle hairdo went to Craig...

Chrome Freeway Aero F&F with blue mags etc - still had it until 1989 and some fat b@stard borrowed it, put a 6 foot high layback on it and cracked the seattube off from the seatstays.

ripper and TA. i remember the ad for a ripper in candy red with gold decals. looked amazing. white TA with white tuffs was so eighties and cool. when i got one i was out of bmx within a year or two anyhow and it turned into a 1/4 of finest red seal.
