There is a real possibility that this is Steves Actual frame set as it's rumoured that there were only 3 made. Apparently Steve had a knack of drilling holes in parts of the frame. A guy from Weymouth who raced Steve was telling me all about it at MK.


Awsome awsome build and considering that with less than a week to go to MK this only had primer on it.

A deserved winner at MK in my eyes and if it wasn't for Phils over build this would have won best overall aswell.

A very very nice job Phil just as i remember them. Any tips you can give me would be great. My old friend once had the only SRE freestyler made by Sanders racing. I remember it being stolen from Poole never to be seen again, police did catch a young lad and he had a shed full of BMXs thats was the last i heard of it.

The south did have a few bike builder's like you said SRE, MRD (Tim March) and Rickman i think they where under the Tram am label not sure??

Tim March lived in Dorchester Road, Poole, Dorset i know the house i will start a thread on Tim March with a few item's i have
