When i posted My 78 Robinson i posted this original photo of Scott clark on a 78 Robinson ( 1979 ) .
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/d54/1967vw/Temp%20file/ScottClark78.jpg)
Last night Jason Ramsden and Tony Law ( legends ) and joff ;) came round to have a look at my bikes ....... they had a rip round the street on a Robinson and my GT and once they get the hang of a track again the old school riders are gonna get a shock ... ^"^ Tony is mental .. and fast ! .. Oh ^"^ they also pointed me in the right direction to a Torker Cruiser :-X
Anyway Jason left and sent me a TXT saying i'm commin round again with something special .. ::) ( not a 10k hooker ) but this ... Given to him by Chuck Robinson :smitten: in 1982 when he raced for Robinson in the USA its an original Scott clark Race Jersey that he raced in from 1980 ( i'd kill for the one in the Photo ) but this to me is amazing ... :smitten:

Cool pics Carl and an even cooler race jersey , actually thought you were going to wet yourself when Jason brought it round and showed it to you :D Nice gesture on Jasons behalf and two sound lads who like you say were pretty handy on a BMX bitd 8)

That jersey is a proper piece of kit :daumenhoch: When I first saw that black & white shot of Scott Clark I thought it was Alan Woods ;D
Anyway,here's a shot I took in the summer of 2007 of ex-Torker rider Mike Pardon with his own tribute to Scott Clark.

Joff ,,,,the Yellow 280X with black Z's was it ? ::)

That's the one Christian , it has Yellow Z's though, black hubs :smitten: The Z's look NOS but they don't have the ACS Z rim around the rim :-\ Did they all come with that ? .... I ain't no Z rim expert :-[
It's just not like me to buy a full bike and keep it as it is , im into my full restorations , re sprays , restoring the battered parts etc but this one is staying as it is , maybe a couple of tweeks , brakes and grips possibly ;) I just love it how it is 8)

The early ones didn't have the Logo's on the side ( I'm almost sure )
Do they say Made in England on them ?

Can't see any 'made in england' on them just 'ACS Z rim pat pend' ??? The rim surface has got the same slightly rough texture as the centre bit of the rim , making me feel they haven't been restored/flatted back etc . There mint either way , I just fancied adding some of Del's finest decals to continue the Yellow and Black theme but if they aren't meant to have them i won't bother ;)
Cheers Dubber :daumenhoch:

Did a bit of searching Christian , you were right :daumenhoch: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=101952.0 looks like i have the earlier USA made ones which just have one decal near the valve hole ;) The English made ones had the lettering around the rim edge . Thought the ones i have didn't look like they had been used but couldn't get my head around the lack of rim markings .
-
Exactly :daumenhoch: ,, You wondered if they were NOS
If they had " Made in England" moulded on you'd know the logo's would've been rubbed off
you've got some minty early un's , Bonus :4_17_5:

That race jersey :shocked: , super nice Carl :daumenhoch:

Love it, what a great guy too :4_17_5:
