Had my first ride in 24 years at Gosport today on my rider that cost me just under £170 in parts from ebay, some pics

:LolLolLolLol:

Isn't it amazing , you only really realise the magnitude of how un fit you are , when you pedal non stop from start to finish around a BMX track .

The first race meeting, I did about 4 years ago , my legs had turned to stone and I really wanted to throw up by moto 3  :LolLolLolLol:

Have fun dude  :D  nice bike  :daumenhoch:

Yeah spent the morning just doing the first section, then me and my mate did a whole lap not really racing each other but omg I was finished, I must of had so much energy as a kid. Was fun though, Have just bought a helmet so will feel a bit more confident next time

Thanks for the comments guys, would love to get some stickers for my frame but havent a clue what it is, thought maybe it was a Raleigh racing because of the brake bridge but it has aero down tube. Any ideas?

Put a new post up with a "Frame ID required" title. Radsters love a good mystery

Really like the color on your bike. It's very motivating to see someone just have some fun on the track, despite the time of year.
