I would love it as im 80% sure it was my first proper bmx...i remeber my bike having the 3 holes above the rear brake..and the chrome and welding on it was real nice...... mine one had blue arayas and lots of nice blue parts on it,quite similar to that one...i paid £50 complete for mine bitd and sold it for £250 a year or so later...real nice bike.

might be getting confused though as it could have been something else.


i like it but not sure of the £850 price tag. :-\

Nice bike that one, especially is this condition.
They're getting more and more popular in the crowd of french collectors  (wait a minute what "crowd" ?  :LolLolLolLol:)


Keep in mind that the seller is thinking "euro" and that's a bad thing for my british cousins  :-[

but I don't think the £850 BIN will meet any buyer in a close future

A Pro Raider? I was offered a Pro raider a while back from France by a guy called Med, a really cool French ex BMX'er that still works in the bike industry, I think he still works for Commencal.

If it is him selling he is very cool and has a long history in French BMX. Great guy.

Still it is possible Hutch sold more than 1 Pro Raider in France!

Yep, good fella that Med  ;)
It was the buyer from Med who resold it on ebay a few weeks later.

And yes, Hutch sold more than one Pro Raider in France BITD, even a few Pro Star  :LolLolLolLol:
