Another perfectly executed piece of British BMX history  :coolsmiley:

I don't know where you learn of these beings let alone find them.

Top work Phil, looking forward to MK16's "what the fook is one of them" unveiling from you.

From what I can remember Chas Smith rode for a shop in Bradford called Pro-line this was their/his own brand. I think the shop was owned by his father.

Bit late on this but just seen the pictures pop up on Google.

I went to school with Chas Smith. His garage was full of these back in the '80s.

Great to see this bike looking like new. Good work.
