Nice list John! Covered nearly all the bikes I wanted as a kid...
Mines a lot shorter, as I foolishly found something else to keep me amused around 1987
Iron horse alien
Ammaco freestyle pro
Curtis freestyler
Loads of part swaps on the frames, but that was it bitd!
-
Piranha Freestyler - July 85
Fox 4 Styler - Nov 85
Some unstickered chrome Aero thing - Aug 86 - Aug 87
By Aug 87, I was out, aged 15. Spent 2 years prior to the Piranha on a Lewways catalogue bike (20" wheels, suspension on the front), I'd whipped the mudguards off, and added a Kashi Aero, Tech 3's and ODI Mushies.
I was only into BMX for 4 and a half years, about 2 years less than I've been into it now. I only jacked it in as I started hanging around the local ice rink in Deeside, and sold my bike to buy some CCM Rapide hockey skates (£60), spent every night at the rink virtually, for months.
