I had a 1984 model for about 3 months until i realised a cruiser wasnt for me cus i was so small.Cant remember it being solid behind the BB like a Goose though.

that is where the trail got complicated last time  ,      my mate had this around 83,84 but it was not new when he got it ,   was proposed it could have been a custom build for one of the Halfords team or n i hate using this term a prototype ? always hard to prove,     info is a little thin on the ground when it comes to Wilsons

was also suggested it might  be       Jackie       but didn't go anywhere  

[Darren Wood]

go on facebook and look up TIM PRINT he will be able to help you out as he Rode for halfords ................. Also give JJ BALDBMXER a shout he has MARK WATKINS OLD ONE

[oldtired]

  cheers Darren,   Tim Print  now that does ring a bell or two ,   hard trying to remember things from years ago  ,   probably just because it's from the same era

Has it got JW on the serial number there Jimbo ?  


If it came with 140mm crank arms and 22" wide bars it might have  belonged to  Jocky , not Jacky      



I was going to mention Darren woukd be the man to ask
