Title: Who manufactured BMX bikes in Wednesbury, west midlands ?
Post by: SammyVee on June 06, 2006, 07:22 PM: Does anybody know who manufactured BMX bikes in the West Mids ? apparently in Wednesbury in the Black country !

A guy at work saw me lookin at Rad and told me about his old bike which is still in his dads shed ! all he could remember was that it was made local !

Perhaps his mates found all the bits down by the stream and put it together ! LOL

any clues ???

Cheers, Sam
