Having last ridden a BMX in approx 1987 aged 14 which was a RALEIGH SUPER TUFF BURNER bought for £8 from my mate Martin , oh if only i knew then what i know now ::) i would be a wealthy man and certainly wouldnt of turned down Carl Garners immaculate TEAM AERO PRO , because £20 was quite simply excessive for a bmx in 1987 very near 3 weeks paper round wages !!! ;D i stumbled across an old beaten up BMX and that was all it took ......... i was once again hooked altho older but not really that much wiser !! that was approx 4 months ago since then my wife is a bmx widow and i am having to leave my car outside because the garage is getting full ;) so here is my bikes owned over the last 4 maybe 5 months at various stages of being built / stripped or finished , some i have sold on others ive still got and i have 2 more in the post !! :daumenhoch: anyway they aint show winners but like the title says i loved them all :daumenhoch:
