So I was sat minding my own business at a motorsport venue when a guy came past on an 80's Diamond Back. Got me all nostalgic and no sooner was I back home I was on ebay looking at old school BMX (well some of them were despite their titles).
OMG....what has happened. In 1980 I wanted a Mongoose or Redline or Diamond Back (but my dad could not afford that (I know they were only like £250).
Now I need to spend over £1000 :10_2_12:
I have since ended up picking up a Skyway Street Styler (86) F&F and a Mongoose Motomag (80) F&F.
Now the search for parts and asking silly questions begins...gulp!!!!!!

Welcome to rad mate :daumenhoch:
We have a decent search facility and a pretty extensive tech and resto section plus some really good stickies on stuff like cleaning chrome, dying mag wheels etc :daumenhoch:
Don't be affraid to ask though, we have all been there ;)

Cool frames 8)
Is the Styler original paint only ever seen them in Pink, White or Green :shocked:
-
Skyway paint not original no, but it is as close to the original colour as could be done.

Nice Styler Pal but they never did them in that blue 🤔
