your first bmx and your first modification
gt0733:
back in probably 1977 i had a "malvern star" dragster that i put motor bike handle bars on. because there was no bump in the middle big enough for the single clamp stem i built it up with sheet metal (probably an old beer can). as for grips i could only get motor bike grips so the r/hand one was built up with tape. life was incredibly simple then, but i didn't know it :coolsmiley:
FuNMoNsTeR:
A BMX Magnum with drum brakes ;D My first modification was to snap the front forks trying to jump a ditch :D
I swapped my Grandstand Astro Wars for that >:(

Mushrooms on my ultra burner. I remember the excitement getting them on the school bus off a kid who had been to Rad City that weekend.
harris:
my first bike was a sort of mongoose motomag after snapping a spoke at rom i was given some wheels
then i walked 6 miles to a bmx shop a bought some hubs. i drew the spoke layout and re laced my first pair
of wheels in 1980 and cant remember if they rode ok but they was on a long time.
