kdw712:
the shop they have now is the original shop
not sure how long they have been there but def late 70's on

when bmx took off in ealry 80's they opened a much bigger shop on the other side of town
and it was just for BMX.

the bigger shop caused a local councillor hassle (cos he lived next to it) by all accounts
and he tried for ages to buy and or shut them down

when bmx faded in late 80's i think they shut the big shop down
and eventually sold years later to the councillor.



bob neil rich etc please correct or add to this.

Bob_Acid:
i think they still own the lease on the place

BMX ammaco No.1 team by Ken Evans - mostly mongoose but thats fine by me :smitten:

--- End quote ---


I agree, I have that book, has a good intoroduction in the routes of the UK bmx scene

kdw712:
another classic is by Don Smith  the EX trial bike champ
who was involved with the UK scene with Malc Jarvis
thats about the real early UK scene must of been written in 1980

we should scan these books and get a RAD library going like Eric has over on
