I'm friends with him on Facebook, we rode together back in the stone age - I can ask him direct if you like?

Is it for a build? - He's bound to ask me.

Did he use it on any of the Bmx Beat series he was on? if so youtube? or I remember years ago some one was selling the series on ebay so maybe someone on here has a copy? just a thought  :daumenhoch:

That would be fantastic Bob...yea. it is for a build I have in mind...I want to see if it is achievable easily. All I can find is some KOSP footage from Southsea in 85...blurry as fook!  :daumenhoch:

I found some pics of him on a yellow perfromer with yellow tuffs (BMX Racer&Freestyle Magazine May'85) yet. But I'm still searching. As I have downloaded a lot of magazines, it may take a while. I will send you a link via pm then!  :coolsmiley:

Found these on the web.

Looks like the seat is a yellow Elina lightning bolt

That's the kitty! many thanks Alan!  :daumenhoch:
Bloomin' ell...I couldn't see from the KOSP footage what cranks he was using...makes it an expensive build, especially with a lightning bolt too, and DX's....probably GT Shinkos. Looks like it was a full custom colour build so lots of parts for SBD too..... :-\

In 1985 when I saw it he had green bars, but in the others yellow so seems to be a little variation of it.

I saw a high Res image of the back last year on Instagram but can't find it. Showed lots of details...

....and he has responded.

He's actually over here in London for a week so once he's back home he's going to have a dig around.

I'll keep you posted.
