Hi all
Just joined today after discovering this site whilst hunting down a mountain bike for my lad on eBay. Got side tracked by bmx's that kept appearing, and after further research about old school bmx's a load of memories about brands came flooding back. Of course nothing I could afford circa 1984, I started with a basic red burner from my mom's catalogue which I paid for myself with my paper round money! I then spec'd it up bit by bit before buying a Reynolds 501 chromoly frame set before swapping it for a racer in '86
Anyway I just bought a team Puch freestyler on eBay which is in a bit of a state from 1986 so looks like I've found something to do apart from finishing my house off.. Not sure the wife realises what's up ahead...
Great to be here,
Dom.

mate ... Welcome to the wonderful world of Rad mate ... Plenty of knowledge on here and pals to help you out on your new adventures!

hello everyone...

i found this site looking for help to return my old burner mags back to black from sun burnt grey looking colour.... anyway i am rebuilding my old ultra burner from when i was a kid, i have already restored an old chrome burner i brought off eBay that wasn't really that bad.. so i should be on here looking for hint's and tips when i get stuck. im not doing a factory rebuild because i never had factory issue bikes back in the 80's, i always changed stuff and swapped and tried different wheels brakes and colour changes...
so bits in hand camera at the ready.. here i go

Hello everyone I am the new kid. My name is Ben and I am from the US. I have a few bikes I am working on and looking for parts for. The first is my 93 Haro sport. I sold years ago and have just a few months ago started to rebuild. As well as a 87 GT performer. I will add pictures in a bit. Thanks

Hi guys
Newish to the forum, but not to RAD itself. I joined last year, but have only just got round to venturing into the unknown. I've found a few really helpful tips, but finding it difficult to navigate using a "smart" phone. As they say... the phone is only as smart as the person using it.

Hi all,
Just joined and thought i would introduce myself.
My name is John from Melbourne Australia and am an old school BMX lover.
I collect bikes and parts from the 80's and 90's. The brands that i collect are mainly Haro, Redline, GT, Hutch, General, Torker SE and Skyway.
I do like other brands, but i think that i need to complete the 30 odd that i have at the moment.
I am also a member of OZBMX and BMX Museum and hope to meet like minded people on here.
Cheers

Hi everyone. I think I registered back in 2014 so it's about time I introduced myself! I had an Ammaco Silver Star in the early 80s but longed initially for a DB Silver Streak, then a TA and then a Changa! I've got a few bikes - a couple of survivors and a couple I've built myself. However, none of them is of the quality I regularly see on here. Cheers Charlie

In the early 1980s I had a Raleigh Super Burner but really wanted a Mongoose or Diamondback. Now I am 46 and have got back into BMX after over 30 years out! I have bought myself a new school 2016 Haro Interstate. I don't really have a dream bike now but I do like the new Haro Dave Murray Tribute bike. How about you?
