1980- 1981  (not sure exactly),  but these 2 speed bmx's were sold 'up ere in norf',  a mate of mine had one exactly like this,  never seen another though,  a suntour holeshot 2 speed system that operated off a brake lever style shifter,   you set off holding the lever in (first gear)  then released once you got up to speed for the second gear....

All the other Racers hated it.

Thanks guys,  pricewise it was quite expensive tbh in 1980,  about £150,   which in todays money is about £550,  so it was equally as expensive as some mongoose bikes which were always classed as a higher-end bike in 1980...
The second gear was pointless to be honest unless you were on some of them steep downhill race tracks they had in southern california...
