Title: TORKER 280X
Post by: Flaz on November 09, 2006, 11:08 PM
Well just in case you don't know when I was 13 yrs old I got mugged in a skatepark in London,  :( that was the day I stopped riding BMX's  :'( 

And then on the 15th november last year I found RADBMX and  after I'd got all excited and built a streetbeat I thought it would be good to build the bike I got mugged on

well I never had any photos to work with  and I know some of the parts aint quite correct  but it looked just like this when I brought it home from Alpine Action in early in 1982    "BUZZIN"

How I found it  on the bay

Not exactly the finished article, but the Children in need cruise has kinda forced me hand  :LolLolLolLol:  I,d like to get it how it was when it was knicked, but  no rush   :LolLolLolLol:

cheers Flaz
