STRIKA RESTO

(1/8) > >>

deeman:
O.k i know its not a proper BMX,but i recently bought this old raleigh Strika off the bay for £30 as it was only round the corner from me and was the first bike i owned.I didnt really know what i was going to do with it,but figured i'd probably restore it eventually.My mate said that he wanted to ride it round 'bug jam' this year so i set about it a couple of weeks ago,but decided to make it a bit unique and give it a freestyle bmx twist whilst still resembling the original bike.It went from this rather sorry looking state...


To this awesome beast!!Enjoy!!

Looks odd but I like it.

I had a silver one BITD. Took the mudguards off and put blue tyres and grips on it.
