Having never riden a BMX till 18 months ago (now aged 50, missed it first time round lol) i have become addicted to them,mainly thru my sons interest & me being the mechanic & banker ;D

Whilst looking thru this site i spotted an S&M Dirtbike (had to have one),bought a rather used frame from "captain" and after a while this is how it looks now.......
