Title: Wilson BMX Info / Help
Post by: ultra_aeroburnernev on October 18, 2013, 01:15 PM: Hi All, ive just bought a Wilson 1982 BMX off a very good friend if mine, the only thing is i know very little about them, could you please share any of your knowledge with me or any photos you may have, and any info on where i can get any repro decals done, in particular the reynolds 531 tubing one that went on these bikes, and also the front decal. i look forward to chatting to you all about it in the coming weeks.

Cheers

Nev

I think there's a few lads on here with close ties to Wilson.
Here's a couple of threads to start you in the right direction.
Be good to get some photo's up when you can.

Del is the main man on here for decals.

Hope that helps, Paul ;)

We bought one between us a year or two back and split the bike between us with the bits we wanted/needed. :coolsmiley:
