Title: Re: What BMX did you have as a kid
Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on January 01, 2012, 11:37 AM: It's a work in progress at the moment. I should have it done for MK this year though. Here's what it was like when i picked it up
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/af3/dancetothedrummersbeat/PeugeotBlackLionBMXWhite.jpg)

Never liked the white/red colour scheme, and wanted a blue/yellow one, so I stripped the paint & had the f&f repainted in 2 pack. Always thought the original blue was a bit washed out, and i didn't like the gold forks so i had it repainted darker in Vauxhall magnetic blue. Repro decals from Del (of course!). I've also had some repro pads made (thanks Steve!), but don't have a pic of them.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/af3/dancetothedrummersbeat/P1010754.jpg)

and here's a pic of what an original blue black lion would look like

Title: Re: What BMX did you have as a kid
Post by: hunterdubber on January 01, 2012, 04:43 PM: After my MK1 Grifter ,,,

Had 5 different BMX's over a 6 year period ,seemed like double that with all the parts swapping :D

First BMX

Ammaco Sport :smitten: the first short run of Ammaco's before the looptails ,,,this was a white frame /red components in Jan 1982 ,,Wow that's 30 years ago now :shocked:

then following Christmas in 82

Falcon with a 2 hole gusset like a Burner with braised collared weld joints like a road bike frame , again a very short run of these before the Falcon/Cyclepro bikes came out . Crap frame but loaded with nice bits , for a cheap bike ,,Takagi tourney 3 piece , Araya 7C's ,,Mitsuboshi Comp II's :shocked:

Spent basically all of 83 saving up buying all the bits throughout the year to build my next bike in Christmas 1983 ,.
My Mum bought me a Chrome GT (Nora) standard frameset (17.5 tt ) and Tuffs from Surrey BMX. The first run of alloy rear and placky front hubbed Tuffs ,, they advertised these as Tuff III's ???

I built a replica of this bike a few years back (except it actually had an Addicks yellow chainring)

Tip:- dont recreate your old bikes they never looked as good as you remembered , usually aa riight hotspotch of colours too :crazy2:

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/u24/hunterdubber/PICT0017.jpg)

Kept the GT around 2 years and swapped the parts like crazy along the way :crazy2: :idiot2:swapped my Suntour VX for a Takagi one piece ,,etc :D

Later changed frames with a mate for Kuwahara Nova with black Ukai's,, then swapped for white OGK's

(http://www.dreamgate.ne.jp/kuwahara/history/83ad2.jpg)

Bought a white DP Firebird Fresstyler from a friend who'd just got a Prolite CC and tricked it out with white parts and Lavender Tuffs

Last bike I had that ,, dabbled with skating in 86/87 too , sold the DP as it wasn't getting used anymore ,,in early 88 I think ,,,for Â£15 :-\

Well it paid for a driving lesson :D ,,shame
Title: Re: What BMX did you have as a kid
Post by: Why isnt this working on January 01, 2012, 05:28 PM: My first BMX was simply named "BMX" I dont even think it was a make..... :2funny: That said it could have been a universal i suppose or something like that. Then got an Aero burner which I rattle canned white, saved all my car wash money to buy a set of lavender tuffs from Basildon Halfords then had "Rad City" do me some lavender TA stickers :D.. To me it WAS a TA, and I told everyone it was...... :LolLolLolLol:

1-Red Raleigh grifter. 1982
2-gold super burner gen 1
3-black/red night burner with alloy hub black tuffs.
4-ammaco freestyler in chrome. Bought second hand
5-rickman in blue and white. bought second hand
6-gen 1 Haro bought second hand. From Darren gasgoyne
7-1984 Haro master bought second hand.

13-1989 Haro master bashguard in chrome. Bought from James Hudson. Cracked/rewelded and sold to Steve grace.
14-1989 Haro master bashguard in chrome. Bought from Ollie Matthews. Given to Darren gasgoyne
15-1989 pk ripper in white bought from Jamie bestwick. The one he rode at mansfield where Hoffman pulled the first backflip. I bent the frame and ended up giving it away. Doh!!!!
16-wal riot bashguard. This lasted 3 days before I cracked it!!!
17-1991 gt aggressor bought from brian wills
18-1992 Haro sport bashguard.
19-1991 Haro ground master.
20-1987 master in chrome. Bought from Andy Mann
21-1990 bashguard master

Then a long break.

22-Haro Cosmo
23-Haro blammo
24-gt show. Which I still have in bits.
25-dragonfly submachine. Now sold to jamez
26-Haro mirra pro series in white. Sold to a workmate.

29-1989 pk ripper. This is the modified one I built. I still have this.
30-1992 ground master. This was my last project which I still have.
31-2008 mirraco blend lite pro series. Frame for sale.

I think that is it from what I can remember. Most of these were not completes just frame sets I got from some of the old pro's around the late 80's early 90's. I used to get a lot of second hand cracked frames coz I could weld them up. I would ride them for a bit and then sell them on. It started getting to the stage where every month I would be riding a different frame! :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: What BMX did you have as a kid
Post by: HARODAVE on January 04, 2012, 09:53 AM: Team Murray was my introduction to BMX . :laugh:

The blue and yellow one , soon ditched the yellow lester mags for spokes ( still coaster though). had a massive box full of bike bits in the garage at mum and dads.
About once a fortnight my dad re-welded it at the joint of the seatpost and top tube, about once a day i took a mallet to the bent one-pice crank to straighten it. :daumenhoch:

Then in 83 ( i think :uglystupid2:) i got a DiamondBack Viper, :smitten: :smitten: loved that bike ...sooo shiny...
Following year white coaster Tuffs added to it , as i struggled with the viper`s lack of coaster on the trick ramp doing kickturns .

Snapped the forks at the diamond in the drop-outs , more welding for dad :2funny:

85 got me a Haro FST frameset which i transferred the rest of the DB bits , which i kept . tweaked and rode till about 1991 . sold it for £60 to a lad i worked with. :Aresehole: by that time it had Peregrine Q-bars, Haro freestyle tyres and DC brakes ,Skyway Hotseat, TufNeck power disc and Grafight X pedals ......

Post by: oldschoolace on January 05, 2012, 02:45 PM: Cant actually remember my first :-[ it looked for all the world like a raleigh burner but it was a yellow and red colour scheme, chunky yellow mags and some sort of cobra grips that were a hexagon shape at the end. Dont recall the decals or a raleigh badge :-[

Any suggestions would be great, its something that has bugged me for years
