well at least i think i fell and banged my head, and when i came round this was in my garage...

as far as i know its all original (apart from mongoose grips) and maybe the stem, maybe someone can shed some light on the stem...

its all in fantastic condition apart from surface rust and minor scratches, no brake rub on the wheels, no drop-out crushingor any damage...

just what was in halfords shop window in 1980/1981...

back tyre shows major freestyle damage....

Hmmmm!!!!! 'track certified' as well....

love to see them

If I'm not mistaken that's a 340 and my first bike too. It would have had a single bolt stem and nasty hard grips.....

They're known for splitting at the seemed bb shell and breaking at the seatstay/seattube.

My mate had the orange and black 310 with steel rims, my bike was luxurious in comparison and the wasps use to bother him down the woods!

That is awesome. Reminds me of getting the bus into town to stand a stare at the Team Murry range in the old Halfords, over the road from The Grand.

Fantastic

That takes me back, a kid on our estate had one, first BMX I ever saw in the flesh. Used to do my head in, he wasn't interested in jumps or wheelies or anything while the rest of us were shearing off cotter pins on our Strikers

Fantastic

just what i used to do!!!!

i used to go up town on my drop-handle just to see this bike.

it looked whacky!!!!

never seen blue tyres and yellow seats before... it seems leaps ahead of a grifter...

Rombloke · « **Reply #23 on:** March 29, 2010, 07:22 PM »

my first bmx was a chrome 340 with black lesters.....rad as

Nothing wrong with that at all, it's a breathe of fresh air to see these sort of bikes still around today.

Very very nice indeed.

It doesn't have to be a Hutch, JMC or a Quadangle to be class.
