Hello All, as a 42 year old I didn't dream I might be able to get my old love back, but maybe I was wrong.....
Back in the early 80's my dad stretched himself to his financial limit and bought me a shinny BMX.
Now Guys I'm not afraid to admit that I loved that bike like it was a puppy!
But all these years on I have only vague memory's of what that lovely chrome and black bike was so I'm hoping you guys might be able to work some magic and help me out!
So here is what I remember....
The bike was bought around 84, was a complete bike but wheels where changed from standard issue to black plastic wheels that supposedly would bend and then bend back again.
The frame and forks where chrome and she had various black bits. The only thing I can remember about the bike is it had superfox, I think, stickers on it.
So not much to go on but if anyone can shed any light on what my baby was and if I have any hope of requiring one I would be very greatful.....
Thanks guys
James

I reckon from your description it could have been a Superfox.
I might be wrong though.

Don't think Rick's got any plans to shift it... he's just built it as a rider. 8)

It's lovely Dan... seen it on Saturday. The chrome is mint. :daumenhoch:

Ok thanks for the advice👍
Have put a wanted thread up so fingers crossed😃
This is maybe not the correct place to ask but what sort of money do these bikes go for?

Hooked for sure.......
Thought I had found a Superfox for sale but sadly it's sold😢
Guess finding one within 24 hours of posting would have been unreal lol
-
was it definitely a superfox, not a silverfox?
-
Yes it was a superfox, not that I know what the difference is, other than the obvious sticker 😂
-
originally the silverfox only had cromo forks and hi-ten frame, think the superfox was full cromo (or some manganese mixture) and maybe higher spec parts
this ad was in the first ever BMX mag I bought - BMX Action from May 83
I pawed over it for ages and ended up with a silverfox the same as the ad - best Christmas ever
there's an MT racing group over on Faecebook - not that busy but maybe worth joining too as someone might be able to help you in your quest - good luck!
-
Yeah I got mine for Christmas too, can remember sneaking downstairs Christmas Eve to have a little look.....
Thanks for the info...... Will check out the FB group👍
