Alpine Sports BMX Catalogue 1981
« on: April 27, 2011, 04:25 PM »
Back in 1981 Alpine opened a BMX department in their Manchester store. It was like an Aladin's cave - Mongoose,Redline,Kuwahara and all the Japanese anodised parts & accessories. I found this old catalogue and thought I'd post it... brings back a few memories. :)
