Universal Bikes
« on: June 07, 2006, 02:17 PM »
Got another two boot fair bargain's at the weekend, ones a new school DK, the others a black and yellow Universal with copy parts on it - copy CW bars, copy mushroom grips, copy suntour stem  :wtf:

I'll try and get a pic sorted but, in the meantime, anyone heard of these rare beauties before, they're made in Rayleigh, Essex apparently?  :)

Universal Bikes have a distribution warehouse in Basildon, on the BAS-VEGAS site, I pass it every day on the way to the Visteon offices (That great Automotive Supplier, who haven't made a penny in 5 years !! and you've probably never heard of !)

Maybe I should have a butchers in the Universal Skips to see if they have any 'copy' BMX bits !  :LolLolLolLol:
MONKEYBISCUITS RIP !!

the shiteheap bikes often have usable generic 48 spoke alloys though

and if they are 1" headsets, then you have some headset cups to reuse.

My first bike was a hot red & white universal 16"bmx. I am pretty sure it is the best bike they ever made, I think theyve only done about 4 BMX's in their history. Early 90's standard shit 20" and 16"BMX. Early 90's decent 16" and 20" BMX, I think they were called panther. Then the late 90's chrome piece of crap with Gyro & pegs. All the ones since have been a variation on the latter.

Theyre distro is reese cycles who do probike and all them £40 full suspensions
