I had one as a replacement for the Piranha that the car that crashed into my folk's garden crushed.

I only know of one other, and that is Mani's.

Really cool frame.  :coolsmiley:

So you had one! What did it ride like?

Interesting frame. Never seen them before. Just looked a bit different.  :)

Do you know if the H/Set and B/B is normal BMX size?  :-\

I thought that when I posted.  :-[ But I saw it and know nothing about them. The only way was to ask on here.  :-\ Looked like a nice little project, something different as a summer rider.  :)

As a 14 year old, I wasn't too arsed what it rode like tbh, but it was green, and I loved it.

One thing I do remember about it was, you could sit the base of a Coke can in the cut outs between the top tubes, great when you wanted to eat your chips.

By the sound of it the lad knows what he is selling, won't stop people messaging him I'll wager  ;)
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

I defo agree with you there Dan. Mani's build is amazing. Every part on it is mint. He's not on rad anymore I believe, according to a comment I saw of his on facebook. Shame  :'(, as he's a diamond geezer who builds lovely bikes. His chrome/blue Rickman is a stunner too.

Appears he was the designer or something.  :-\ Not keen on the colour grey. Not very 80s. Did they come just as a frame in raw finish?
The more I look at it the more I like it. But me thinks it will now go for a lot more than the start price!

Mine was green, came as a complete, but was probably built up by the bike shop.  ???

Had a closer look at the two builds above and does appear they have the same forks.  :) Shame the one on fleabay has them missing.  :(

which came first? the trm or the 4styler? from memory i think the trm was out before this. my friend had a trm from our LBS and im sure adverts for the 4 styler popped up in the mags after that.
