Title: Just realised I have the oldest UK owned BMX in the Radbmx Museum
Post by: Jazzchimp on July 19, 2007, 11:33 PM: My 77 DeCoster, something to be proud of :daumenhoch:

The earliest one in the Radbmx Museum is Reilley1's beautiful 1974 Webco Hardtail - now that's early!

To think, in 76 I was still riding this thing!!

Post by: Trev on July 20, 2007, 01:09 AM: my mum did use to tell me i used to really like gripe water as a kid. i used to drink quite a bit of it and that was alcohol based. so my mum is to blame for my love of alcohol....

Nope, don't know what it was but it wasn't a Tomahawk - it was earlier than that. It was a british made hand-me-down from my bro so I think it was a 1970 bike - learned all my skills on it though!
