really like this bike
i can remember going in sanders bike shop years ago,old man sanders could be a grumpy old git!
mate of mine had a sre in black with chrome forks.
poole area was a real hotbed of uk made frames what with sre mrd rickman etc.
great build phil will you ever build your other sre frames?

A very very nice job Phil just as i remember them. Any tips you can give me would be great. My old friend once had the only SRE freestyler made by Sanders racing. I remember it being stolen from Poole never to be seen again, police did catch a young lad and he had a shed full of BMXs thats was the last i heard of it.

The south did have a few bike builder's like you said SRE, MRD (Tim March) and Rickman i think they where under the Tram am label not sure??

Tim March lived in Dorchester Road, Poole, Dorset i know the house i will start a thread on Tim March with a few item's i have

big thanks to stidds (wheel build)firebird (decals)and paul and weeksey for sorting out anno work,one of the hardest parts of build was matching the colour,luckily when i was stripping off the paint and old decals there was some original paint underneath so i spent hours at work going through paint chips to find the correct colour,bike won best old school race at mk this year which i still can't beleive as the standard of builds just seems to get better and better
