Send a PM to Radders.  He doesn't come on here a whole lot, but he was on a WAL Riot when i met him and I'm sure he'll remember what was on it  :)

Title: Re: Wilkerson Airlines
Post by: BrianP on August 14, 2006, 11:17 AM
thanks!

like a fool, i sold it. well, most of it. including an unused bashguard in black.
was about three years ago. (what a d-head i was that year!)

still got the araya rims, suzue front hub, suntour coaster rear hub and acs freecoaster, the black gt tyres and the vid.

the rest is gone. even the ironing board, the house which the pic was taken in and a full head of hair... ;)

I loved my Riot (sniff sniff!), but fancied something different and had no room for loadsa frames & stuff. A guy called Dean or Deany bought it and rode it a Backyard Comp in the mid 90s if I recall correctly. Very long frame, and not as heavy as it looked.
I nearly bought one last year, the seller was in Sheffield I think.
If I'm honest, I wish I'd kept all my old frames, the ones that didn't bend or break.

Nice bikes... I still have a red riot bought in 93 from Non-Stop in Notts.  Everything on it is 93 era - haro kneesavers, dk stem, ACS and 990 brakes, GT 48s, xposure grind disk,standard and KHE pegs.  Sad thing is it will be up on ebay soon, as I am moving into a flat with no garage :'(.  I can take a picture and post it if anyones interested

Sorry about the shoddy pic and the filthy bike... it hasn't seen the light of day for about 6 years...

Sorry again... but it won't let me upload an image however small I make it.  Am I missing something ?
