Ga day Ed , its bouncer here from down under . Al Carter bikes were Townsend cycles top end bikes , basically they copied raylegh's idea and used good brand parts to put together some awesome bikes . My Al Carter black panther MTB still rides awesome and its survived my idiotic riding since 1991 . Its all tange , araya and top end shimano . I never got to play with any of there BMX stuff though as we were banging out Townsend catalogue return mtb's at 99quid a pop and we could sell 250 a week back then . Good times as I was paid a mad wage and made 20% per bike . Happy days cobba .
See you next time I'm over but ,
Doony out .
