Got this earlier in the year from Tony BMX-796 but I think at least one other RAD member has had it before him. It's been active in the OS race series which for a nearly 30 year old frame and forks seems good to me. I was very surprised when I rode it that due to the long rear end it handled pretty well for a bike with a 18.5" top tube, So we went to the Durham play track for a Birthday ride (this JMC Standard Long was supplied to a shop in December 1980) and I had the idea to replicated the classic BMXA cover shot of Leary from 79. See what you think. Both bike and rider had fun and returned home safely

This will become a show build at sometime but till then I'm happy to leave it a rider

Thanks for the comments lads you make an old fart happy

Marky, Yes that is the JMC that was for sale about 4 - 6 months ago with the Hammer head on. I only wanted the F&F + the rims the rest was broken and sold off. Got some nice period stuff to go on it now but think I want to have a race on it first (think I'll change the forks first though). When I got it and saw the size of the down tube I thought it would flex like fook but I was very surprise when I rode it as it's quite stiff and responsive (que the Donor). Much nicer than the 84 Shadow I had BITD as the steering isn't razor sharp / nervous.
