Those slacks look rather fetching.  The material also looks quite luxurious  - 100% polyester I would imagine - particularly splendid to the touch.

[BrianP]

yep, from what i can remember it had the same logo as the "membership" card???

Ive got Andy Prestons Yellow Pair somewhere....he gave them to me to borrow once and never wanted them back!

The Gaitors were an AP product (he also did arm sliders too!)

Have also got the Ultimate USA Support rider agreement that you had to fill all your details in and agree to wear your clothing in all competitions, displays and photos and that you kept it clean...the ebenfit?  That you can announce yourself as an Ultimate USA support rider at meetings   
Oh....and you had to send cheque for £29 for jeans and top

This letter was from November 1984
Sent off for the Ultimate USA details after it was mentioned in News section of a BMX mag.
