God that brings back memories seeing two odd wheels. As a kid, round our way, even if you didnt have a bike you could build one after an afternoon looking down back allies, wasteland, railway embankments

and the like. They often ended up looking like this.

Top build

Just been reading through all this mission, fantastic and what makes me laugh so so hard is the fact that this bike must have been only 1/4 of a mile from Retrogeezers old house he would be gutted if he knew, strangley I only live half mile up the road.

In fact there should be an old 82 GT pro on the north farnborough train line as me and my mates used to tag and spray all the bridges round there, remember getting chased by the transport police and my mate left his bike stashed in the bushes and never found it again, his old man was not impressed.
