i had loads of stuff around 89-90
my dad (sometime in the 90's) took my mk1 and mk2 burner frames + forks, my FOX FOURSTYLER frame + forks and load of wheels n stuff to the TIP.
i sold my haro first gen freestyler for about 15 quid. it was mint too. i paid fifty quid for it off a rich kid who got it in 83, rode it for a year or too then left it in his garage.
i sold that mongoose cali complete without a back wheel to some dude in about 1990 (who later sold it Stu)
i welded my 2 zapper frames together, making a bmx and sidehack - but neglecting to leave room for the crank
my prolite got pinched - well i let someone borrow it, who lent it to someone i didnt know. when i asked for it back, they said "not my problem, fook off". thanks "mate"
when i got back into riding again in 1996, i started from scratch.

Hi all
I have just found a front spoked wheel with nice hub, got a stickered logo of the Pirahna fish on the rim, and writing on the hub. Not sure if it is the same company, but it's spelt the same and looks pretty old.
No good to me but didn't want to let it be part of the Olympic Village (metal is £60 a ton and is going up steadily i've been told after visiting 7 tips today).
Can post a pic if anyone wants it, let me know, small donation to Rad.
Cheers

Glad they saw sense and made something for Rupert the bear troser wearers. Golf courses are motorcross tracks with grass on.Wonder if the trolleys are heavy as fook as well.
