I never keep all my nice bikes except, my old rickman freestyler and my dp firebird delta II from when i was a kid. - thay are survivors.

This is my 'RAT BIKE' - the one that gets used when i ride to the newsagents for some beer or fall off when i go around my mates house and get p155ed - or both.

Its a  MT racing silver fox which i saved from Redditch refuse tip. ( some bird was ditching it as i was there so i commandeered it ) 

the other bits i fished out of my garage - with various levels of battering over 20 years.

reynolds 500 twin top tube bars ( from halfords about 1986 )

Hey you dont fancy selling those cranks do you?

Ive been after a gold takagi for a while..

bmxmatt1974:
when did you find that?

SaMAlex:
Here are 2 bikes I used to get about on, lock up in town, that kind of thing. The 24" is for short distance and the 26" for anything more than a few miles.


This is a 97 A-head Challenger 24" with a set of wheels I borrowed of a mate when his 24" CW folded in half, a high fat seat with QR clamp, lights and zip tied on pads.



This is/was a British Eagle Boss. I used what ever BMX parts I could on it but left on the rear gears (with a skateboard wheel to keep the chain on, sprung seat, road tyres and a massive shim so I could use a 1" shafted stem in a 1 1/4 forks.
