I picked this up a couple of months ago and have been fighting back breaking out the nitromoors on an almost daily basis.It was built to a different spec, a very good spec actually. Couple of chats with the haro boys on here inspired me to build it as a survivor for the time being and i wanted to get close as poss to factory release parts. Bought it from a guy in Nottingham in August. The story goes that while on hols in Florida in 84, he saw the first gens in a shop called woodies bmx. He tried to buy one, but demand was high so a shop in Notts imported a f and f for the guy as a one off. Its been really well cared for over the years and has done the rounds around the family until he sensibly took it back. I went and collected it and what a nice fella, very interested in the scene and i hooked him up with this site. If you come across this Jay and Corrinne, thanks again

That's really clean, looks just perfect as is. You made the right decision not to restore it

Really nice left a survivor and the spec looks pretty true to the original (which is how I built mine a couple of years back). Well done for fighting off the Nitromors urges Dom
