if you've ever tried to lift one these bikes up, the more you have to stop it the better ;D

think it was just to be new/different approach to bike tech, and probably used as a main selling point among a sea of BMXs in the 80s

an early version of BOGOF (buy one get one free) lol

Like anything,some some very gimmicky stuff appeared in the 80s,some good some bad,some worked,some were pointless!The fact that no one else employed this 3 brake setup would indicate to me it was rather pointless!!! :daumenhoch:

biggest fall back for the rear brake was the lower mounted one was in the way of your foot when pedalling !!doh
