So it seems everyones first builds were pretty modest and none broke the £200 barrier 

Infact the majority must 've been £100 or less

I got into BMX's after the boom bought a chrome burner off my bro's mate all i remember is it had tuff 2's Tange forks cost £30 and i loved it, Got stolen so i ended up with a 90's Gt Dyno VFR that i put mx brakes and tuff 2's on  and raced at Bradford Bandits

Gold Raleigh Super Burner, it was horrible and crap and the 'Gold' peeled off well easily. I aspired to my brothers CW Phaze 1 which was won in a raffle at Surbiton Town BMX Track and my mates GT Pro Nora Cup, both of which i now own.

Yeah, my brother and i raced there as kids, it was a superb track with a water jump near the finish line if i remember correctly. I might have a few photos but they would be at my parents house in France, i'll have a look next time i'm over there. Did you race there too?
