It all started here when i was 13

Raleigh MK1 Night Burner that I used to race at Bexhill-on-Sea BMX track (above)
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/w265/750Rush/P1030870.jpg)
I sold it for £30 for pertol money to fund my subsequent hobby of white water slaom canoeing. I made it into the Brithish Team :D
25 years later...and I have my own child, so I bought him this

Which now looks like this (not yet finished)

Then I bought a matching brother so I can ride with him when he gets big enough!

Now (not finished)

Then this came up locally

Now (not finished)
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/w265/750Rush/P1030783.jpg)
So I had to buy a smaller brother

Then a mk1 smaller brother to be more precise!
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/w265/750Rush/P1030779.jpg)
I then found this imk2 big brother in a boot sale

Somewhere in between that lot, i bought a rusty universal from a man in a pub for £5. I cleaned it up and it now resides in Spain, a holiday bike!

I then got slightly distracted
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/w265/750Rush/P1040529.jpg)
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/w265/750Rush/P1040528.jpg)
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/w265/750Rush/P1040527.jpg)
The first one is now also in Spain as a holiday bike!
I then picked up four Raleigh 25th Anniversary Burners (x3 Mag X1 Super Tuff). two are minters, two are a bit rough! One minter is in line to become a Team Aero rep, and the other mintyer a Martini Racing custom.
For those of you getting bored by my Raleigh bikes ::) I ventured into other brands and in Sept 2011 I started to build these two beauties up
