So, I was chatting to some people on a Lotus Cars forum today, and one mentioned he used to ride BMX in the 80's.
He listed several bikes that he owned, from Puch, to Mongoose, to a Quadangle and eventually a GT Pro Performer.
He then tells me he used to race at Derby, and was in fact a member of the Derby Freestyle BMX team, and they toured around shows and festivals with a trick ramp and a quarterpipe every Saturday.
Of course my immediate question was 'do you still happen to have any of your old bikes...?' which sadly he didn't. (One of his friends still has an Aero Pro Burner rusting away in his shed though, so I may have to chase that one up).
He then told me if he could find his old Team Derby jersey then I could happily have it to go with my WHEELS one, and about an hour later he sent me this pic and asked for my postal addy

Not seen one of these before. He said they were only ever given to the team riders, and not for general sale.
Just goes to show you there are some nice people out there.
