My first race bike was a DB Senior Pro.







I had a Moto 1 as a paper round bike but i don't have piccys of it.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

posted this pic a number of times on Rad over the years, Halfords Turbo 20x (chrome non gussett type) circa 82/83 ish



The Pro-Trax jersey/gloves and centurion lid are somewhere in my parents loft, although I don't think they'd fit anymore!

Started off with one of these but with the blue bits. It was the nearest I could get to a Silver Streak.

Then a Curtis expert in 1984. Would love to have either of these bikes now but it seems i'll pay £200 for a set of curtis forks!

No pics but a horrible ugly gold Raleigh Super Burner.




Same here, peeled the gold off a few months later, swapped the rims to zeds and bars for c dubs.

Got stolen from from Bognor pier circa '86 when my bro borrowed it and never locked it, the ginger twat  :tickedoff:
