Post by: aerostylie on November 24, 2007, 05:08 PM: Used to have a Halfords Turbo circa 1982/3, which had no gusset. Eventually I took all the decals off so that no-one knew what it was :LolLolLolLol:, but I did put some decent replacement parts on ie CW bars, DXs, mushy grips. Alas when I was 17 I thought I was too grown up and it went to BMX heaven in 88 :'(
