Cheapo bikes.
« on: November 03, 2005, 03:27 PM »
Does anyone have any pictures of any of the old cheapo bikes that none of us really wanted bitd but got anyway because our parents wouldn't buy us a Supergoose?

Stuff like Pirahnas, Team Murrays (which is what I had) or Giants?

I realize that any pictures forthcoming will be old ones of people on their rides bitd, as I doubt anyone is realizing a twenty five year old dream to own a Pirahna! It'd be cool to see them again though.

I'm gonna dig out my old pics and send them in when I visit my mum the next time.

 :) ;) :D ;D

Jesus - Bingley Hall, I remember that place. Loads of crashes into concrete pillars as I remember.

What year did racing take place at Bingley Hall (my memory isn't what it used to be)

I was a little lighter back then! ;D

I did have them swapped pretty regularly if I remember right.....always breaking them.
Halfords must have hated me!

I remember the moto one. My friend had one and it was pretty heavy but there were worse bikes around at the time.

i remember the Moto1 they were like a step down from a Pro-Star and there was also the WMX, the one i saw cane in black with gold stuff including redline styled V bars & the softest 1 piece crank i ever seen :o
even my sister bent her crank & she only used it for her paper round ;D
