What are the rims by the way......I can't remember if they were steel, but they used to bling up something bright when using moms Mr Sheen
Oh and from memory, I dont think the originals had CMC steel wheels, I think the wheels were pretty special too for the budget - not arayas, but either Weinmann, or (and don't quote me on this) but Ambrosio alloys. (Certaily you could also buy Ambrosio alloys laced up to hubs who's spec I forget at Halfords and they looked identical - I spent hours in Halfords, me... ). I think the annodised finish of the Turbo wheels was a bit less "shiney red" than those.
Any chance of that F%*@ing goose like

although the build is fantastic the cranks should be red SR or Sakae can't remember now and the rims were cmc all annodised red, also the padset was a nice red leatherette fabric sorry the pic is not better for the headtube sticker but it's all I have.
when i got my first bike a blue burner my little brother got a mini one of these,i used to ride it more than the burner,we was chatting bout bikes the other day when i told him i was getting back into it,and we knew it was a halfords bike but couldnt remember what its full name was thanks mate.i must try and get him one as a pressie for a laugh be great for his 35th birthday or maybe even xmas make it proper like old times.
All these Turbo owners are coming out of the woodwork now aren't they.

Any old excuse to put the Turbo piccy up from Crimbo 82 I remember the seat clamp being particularly shite.......I think my parents still have the original padset in the loft (lost treasure ). This post seems to have got a lots of peeps interested Andy.......man do I need to get my old one replicated.Halfords Turbo....yeahhhh
HI thats a wkd rebuild,glad to see a rare bike being restored,all old school bmx's are a piece of history shouldnt just be the expensive models to deserve restoration, i have a 20" stratton survivor somewhere and ive just picked up a 16" halfords turbo 16 in red and black all original survivor condition,but sadly the parts arnt as good as on your model
