Gravesend, Kent BMX shops..
« on: September 17, 2013, 03:53 PM »

   Im trying to piece together some BMX history and remember buying a DB Pro from a shop in Gravesend Kent around 1983/4.

  I found the ad in a BMX mag so it must have been a fairly large shop. They ran out of Silver Streaks and so sent me a Pro, which again confirms they carried a bit of stock and must have been fairly large at the time.

   Anyone know what the name of the shop might have been or remembers them? Thanks

It was down Queen St, I think...Just by where Woolworths used to be.  I dont think It was around long, but the couple of times I went in there it was quite busy!

If they were giving away Pro's for the price of Silver Streaks it explains why they were not around for very long.  :LolLolLolLol:

Yep that's them.  I remember me and my mates cycling miles there to get a copy uni seat and then it broke after a short while   :'(.       Here's an advert from 84.
