What BMX brands did Halfords stock in the 80's?

[stuntmaster]

I remember new malden halfords had 400 cranks and they were in there for years , always wondered if they sold them or just bin them when bmx died

[bobbbbsy]

the store in queen street cardiff had 400 flights locked in a cabinet to stop us getting out mits on them. cant remember any other brands other that were mentioned, we had a mate who had a saturday job there which was very useful!!

I worked in Halfords on the Moor in Sheff late 80's

Very little BMX bits as mountin bikes were all the rage, I remember knickin a pair of tech 4s though.

[adenough]

yeah, they were quite easy to swipe things from, lookin back, all the staff were students who didnt give a fook 

[M5AT]

Exactly! I wasn't a student, but I didn't give a fook

My first BMX was bought from Halfords in Romford, Sept '81.

T'was a Team Murray 330.

It had two floors and was on the corner by the road (cant remember the name of road). I "acquired" my Red Suntour Power stem for my California from there
