Title: A few PICTURES from Tom, TT RACING - updated - 21:54
Post by: sid1972 on April 14, 2010, 06:34 PM
Tom was instrumental is all things BMX in Lincolnshire, from Jam butties, track designs to track side repairs.. I think his slogan was 'you bend em, we mend em!' and that he did!! 

Well here are a few, because believe me there are loads!! - Sorry for the poor quality, need to get them scanned.

1: Original marketing shots of his famous product.  ;)

2: His son, Steven - check out the crank?  :D

3: Line up BC 1984 -

I've got my fingers crossed he still has them...  ;)

He states they were designed to get you out of the gate quicker, some engineering concept I think?

I remember Tom and his son really well from racing in Gainsborough in 82 and 83. I think he is originally from the North East of England and when every we traveled down from Sunderland he got my Mam to take him some sausages from the from the local butchers because he said they weren't as good down south  :LolLolLolLol:

Thanks dude.  ::)

I wondered why there are so many pictures of bikes on the back of cars and it's because Tom, TT racing designed and made the bike racks..  :D

how cool would that be to have one of them!!

I know this topic is quite old but I felt it needed to be re-newed due to a bit of a score I had not long back.

Late last year I came across a Jam Buttie Anti Tweek/Flex Fighter for sale on Ebay, It was so different I had to buy it, I notice the person selling it had a few old school parts, so I got the phone number and gave him a call, It turned out he was starting to clear out all his old stock rooms due to a shop move I ended up with all his old school bmx bits he had left, The guys name was Trevor and the shop was Church Street Cycles, Gainsborough,  I have been told this was Tom's old shop.
Here are a few bits linked to TT Racing and Tom.
ps, I am led to beleave the frame and forks are one of his or his sons..
nice bit of TT Racing History enjoy.
