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.

Don't you believe it
i had one BITD and have got one again, its last on my list for Restro
but some how i think i will enjoy it the most for the "that's what i had 25 year ago" factor

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)

Did those wheels survive the landing?

I was a little lighter back then!

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

Rough Rider , candy apple red , these where cheap but strong ( Craig frazier and his bruv could not wreck it.)

Moto 1. Black with gold rims.

These bikes are circa 1982 81 . ish

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

retrogeezer · « **Reply #21 on:** November 07, 2005, 06:39 PM »

and back by popular demand.....the ET Stratton...

ORB · « **Reply #22 on:** November 07, 2005, 08:51 PM »

I have a Moto 1 Somewhere.

Think Retrogeezer does too.

showtime · « **Reply #23 on:** November 07, 2005, 09:51 PM »

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
