So I received my first ever BMX just now, after it amazingly came up on the Bay. Catalogue POS by Iron Horse, i give you...The Alien!

All original from around 83/84, including the pad foam which crumbles to dust should you look at it in a funny way. Mine bitd had Acorn magnums which I've got on the way, but other than that its identical. It even has Tony Tiger stickers

Built with PHOENIX 101 Cycle tube! Have some of that!!!

Stoked!

I'm a big fan of Pieces of Shite, my fave bike is a Piranha which is exactly the same as my first bike.

thats grrrreat!

Cheers guys, never thought it would give me as much pleasure as it did getting this back. Brought a lot of memories back of building ramps in the street and having high jump competitions with a pile of bricks and a stick! Its in really good nick for its age and considering the quality of materials used. Half a mind to restore but the other half says leave more or less as is - whaddya reckon?

dordymush · « **Reply #9 on:** June 03, 2011, 02:42 PM »

WINI · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2011, 03:57 PM »

AKGOFF · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2011, 04:49 PM »

Yeah man, just treat it like a lump of shite like you would back in the day, it survived then so it will survive now.
Cool

OOOHHHH LOOK!! someone has welded some drill bits on the back for foot pegs

I'm loving this bike

My mate had one of these and you could virtually bend those mags in half without breaking

Step back Z Rim, its the Matchstick Mag

brettypeeps · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2011, 10:13 PM »

Looking like you have found a little gem there. Looking pretty clean. Nice one

Taipan · « **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2011, 10:31 PM »

Outa this world!

oldtired · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2011, 12:57 AM »

nice find that , like a low end bike they have a certain look about em , actually quite hard to reproduce , bit of clean is all that needs

The Burner King · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2011, 12:49 PM »

My mate had one of those, he snapped one of the mags and also replaced them with acorn mag wheels.

I like it, the colour scheme is cool and i would leave it as it is, looks in good nick
