It's this one with these decals :daumenhoch:

They had a factory race team NBMXA West Midlands based in the early to mid 80's. Nick Ballard rode for them in my age group (13's in 83) and Darren Stock's brother, Jolyon a year or two older. Beyond that useless bit of information i haven't a clue :D

still a bit of info i didn't know, cheers :daumenhoch:

i had one ages ago that since i sold appear on ebay last week ie red one , they were just cheap spanish bmx`s but cool if like them or had one as a kid
-
I bought that red! one how much did you sell it for? I just wanted any cheap old school bike and remember seeing these in spain believe they were available in halfords too, I know they're cr@ply made but it's just for the old school looks, not going to be doing any serious riding on it :daumenhoch:

My mate had the red one around late 81 I think , got it in Halfords and it even had Cotterpin cranks and steel rims!
I didn't have a bmx at that point so he very kindly used to let me take turns to destroy it!! haha >:D
-
cool, I don't need pics now, discovered yesterday that the fork decal i was missing is the same as on the handlebar pad so can get them done from that!
