Title: Mr JMC Jim Melton Questions and Answers Session Input Required Please.
Post by: sweetbeats on June 16, 2009, 10:32 AM: Got a nice email this morning From Mr JMC and he is keen to chew the fat for RAD and hopefully put together some pics that aint been seen before from back in the day.
I know alot of the rad lads love a nice JMC so if you have any questions regarding the bikes,history,riders etc(sensible ones) post them in the thread and I will put something together for Jim's attention ASAP-keep it clean as he is probably going take a butchers at the site ;)

Post by: ron burgundy on June 16, 2009, 08:22 PM: Did Harry Leary ever look like a normal kid... with hair?

What was your proudest moment in BMX?

Did you ever get asked to manufacture frames for other companies? if so, who?

Which riders did you want but could not get?

Did you ever manufacture parts that never made it to full production? and if you did, what were they?

Spam or Corned Beef?
