Title: Hi and what is it?
Post by: mallaby on July 05, 2010, 09:51 AM: Hi my name is Jason and i'm from the Isle of Man, i'm into pitbikes and autotesting and anything to do with engines (crappy intro lol). I've just got hold of an old bmx which i found in a friends barn which i plan to restore, i've put some new tyres on it and oiled the chain and have been messing about on it a bit but it does need some work to make it look nice. I really like this bike as its pretty light and rides really well. I'll try and add some pictures soon, i would be really pleased if any1 could tell me what make and model it is or how i can find out as i aint got a clue. Thanks for any replys in advance.

Jason
