Here's my survivor Trident, a transatlantic collaboration between VDC and Hot Wheels BMX shop down on the south coast. I bought the frame and fork set from Hot Wheels in the mid-1980s, carried it home on the bus and had to put the stickers on myself. I then built it up with a mish-mash of parts collected from other bikes bitd. It was my daily rider until the 90s, since when it has either been garaged or in storage. According to the serial number (and confirmed by Voris Dixon), this was the 93rd frame off the VDC welding line in September 1983.Parts breakdownTrident frame and forks (made by VDC) - 100% chromolyNo name bars (possibly Race Inc??)Suntour Power stem with Suntour locknut and flexfighterSkyway Tuff 2sTakagi 175mm one piece chromoly crankPete’s Precision Products DiscMKS Graphite-X pedalsKashimax Aero seatLayback seatpostDia Compe MX 1000 brakes with Tech 3 leversCopy Mushrooms
C'mon, let me see my bars! I would love it if they were Hutch but always assumed they were something cheap 'n' cheerful. If my 34 year old memory serves me well, they were on my first ever bmx, which was a Cycle Pro frameset built up with a whole lot of random used parts.
I've picked one up today 😄
