Stephen Dalet. Only I seem to remember him. Meanwhile Gardens and Rom regular, always rode with Marco Lara. If there'd been a definition of tech back in 82-83, then it would have been a picture of him

Rob was this the guy who used to hang out in Alpine action in Notting Hill? Was in BMX action bike with another guy, both in Haro gear doing tailwhips? Feature on the first Potts mod bolts.

Also
Chris Young
Rob Bell
Paul Davies? (Pikey)

I was in Alpine once and one of those 2 tailwhip guys was in there fixing his bike. I dont know which one, just someone I was with said it was. How cool is that, "Wesyway" on his Haro Pants!
