Looks great, another quality restoration :4_17_5:

they are back in the loft now, but this is as near side by side that i accidently got.... ;D
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ii194/quattro2008/bmxpickies022.jpg)
they will be side by side at MK though.... :daumenhoch:
-
They both look well nice Sam :4_17_5: :4_17_5: makes a change seeing affordable old school from back in the day. I felt exactly the same when i did both my Halfords Turbos.
Both will be at MK also.
-
would get my vote :daumenhoch: thats exactly what its all about,
-
Nice Resto - good to see the early entry-level bikes making an appearance now, they really do tug the heart-strings when you see them.
Shoot me down, but I still love a Mk1 Super Burner just like my first BMX.
-
Nice one Sam.....
My first BMX was a Team Murray....the red and chrome one....but some fu**er nicked it!!
:daumenhoch:
-
lovin that.
gave me the push to maybe start on my ole puch.
what you done on the wheels. they look mint.
you painted/powdered em ?.
-
lots of fond memories for all then.... :)
i remember pedaling up to halfords in oldham town center (about 3 miles away) on my drop handlebar bike (sun super 5) just to stare at this bike through the window, i could not keep my eyes off it, i remember loving the blue tyres (never seen before on a bike) and yellow seat, the raliegh grifter next to it looked pre-historic... this is what got me smitten on the bmx concept, and i was lucky enough to find this almost original bike in very good condition only a few weeks ago.... :smitten:
its defo a keeper... ;)
-
:smitten: my first bmx think my old mums got a pick of me with it , still got the lesters , bomb proof, posted up before when the last one was on here , mine had silver SR stem on it rather than the goose neck, big blue gnarler nobby tires chewed up the snow proper :daumenhoch: xmas 1980. :smitten:
-
Those bikes look killer Sam, you'l be getting some attention @ Mk with those bro, resto is awesome people are gonna freek out!!!
-
You have been busy Sam :D
Great resto job on that , looks mint , love that Blue colour too :daumenhoch:
Tbh I love bikes like these as they are the ones I can relate to as a kid so much more than the VDC and JMC stuff that people fall over themselves to comment on . I never saw a JMC or VDC in the flesh bitd . :-[
It would be good to see a few more of the lower end bikes appearing on RAD imo ???
It's been a good few days for you Sam , Two cracking builds and a new baby too , top work mate :4_17_5:
Nice to see the grips went to a good home ;)
-

i agree with that totally.
the super dear bikes do nothing for me nowdays.
i'd sooner see a rusty piranha than a show pony a hutch personally :)
-
Some bikes just look so right in blue and yellow :daumenhoch: great restore job
