My 77 DeCoster, something to be proud of

http://www.radbmxmuseum.com/showitem.asp?ID=86

The earliest one in the Radbmx Museum is Reilley1's beautiful 1974 Webco Hardtail - now that's early!

To think, in 76 I was still riding this thing!!

my mum did use to tell me i used to really like gripe water as a kid. i used to drink quite a bit of it and that was alcohol based. so my mum is to blame for my love of alcohol....

a one year old alcoholic dependant on gripe water.......

No, I had that bugie type thing in 76, wish I had owned a DeCoster then - I'd have been the coolest kid around

Nope, don't know what it was but it wasn't a Tomahawk - it was earlier than that. It was a british made hand-me-down from my bro so I think it was a 1970 bike - learned all my skills on it though!
