griff:
Oh yes

MartyC:
Wow, you do keep digging them up Martin  "wantit"

dinglem:
Haha... Yeah. Got plenty of free time when I'm away working so spend a lot of time researching and hunting around online. I've tracked down a fair few ex-WHEELS riders now and they have provided me with loads of info (and frames!)

I've been chasing the Ti prototype for around 12 months but now finally have got my hands on it. Amazingly I was also given custody of the WHEELS scrapbooks (x2), which have a fully documented history of the WHEELS Project, including the original track development plans (both tracks), heaps of newspaper cuttings, many many photographs, letters asking for funding, and a whole heap of previously unseen negatives and colour slides showing races, team meetings and so on. Will take me aaagggeess to go through it all, but well cool!!

dinglem:
Few pics.

Do uo know if there any new BMX plans for wheels?
A shame that old track just sits derelict behind some old fence
