« on: July 13, 2007, 06:06 PM »

Strongs isn't that Craig Strong the Wheelie King. Got a picture of him wheeling his custom PK Ripper with a Chopper Seat attatched to it and no front wheel (bizzarre)

I think these are from 83/84, will have a look through some scans to see if I can find an advert.  I am also sure this subject has been discussed before on Rad  :-\.
