did anybody here ever go to her shop in Yeadon, it closed down just as I moved to the area in 1985 :( her and james renton were the main two bmx super stars, she ran her shop and james's dad ran the track/club (the dambusters-bmx club) :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:

JJ (BALDBMXER) knows Mel, I would say he frequented her shop. Didn't go there myself, only got as far as Huddersfield bike shopping.  :(

I bought this from Ultra BMX back in the day.  I'm from Essex and down here it was £399 and Ultra BMX had it for £320.  My dad was working for a few days in Harrogate so said come up on the train and he took me there to buy it after saving for two and a half years. Still with the Ultra BMX Sticker :-)

Yep that's an Ultra Performer alright, they used to take the decals off and put race decals on instead :idiot2:

I think she mentioned on Facebook that that was how they got delivered to her.  I remember being a little disappointed at not having the World Tour decals but liked them in the end.

Bought an original foam filled Space seat post off her last year.

Which was the main missing bit in my Space collection.
