Me in 1977 (aged eight) on something which resembled a small Chopper

And this will make you laugh, me again on my trike (or on the back of it) in 1974/5 (aged 5 or 6). I used to push along with by standing on the back and then tip it on 2 wheels, and that was before that Haro fella!!, so when am I gonna be credited with the birth of freestyle??

Wrong!! It wasn't a tomahawk either - it was a hand-me-down from my brither who had it in the mid-late 60s. Here's a better pic of it... dig the chick?? I still got it!!

Just noticed the PK ripper style downtube on that blue bike.. and torker top tubes

I eventually snapped the thing which is when my dad bought me a Murray

That seriously looks like a Raleigh Budgie, I had one of those around '74, quickly followed by a Tomohawk.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2006, 02:31 PM »

ah...the budgie...thought they were even smaller than a tomahawk.....i remember a yellow budgie frame in me mates backyard. it was a toddlers bike really, that cant be it...

Jazzchimp · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2006, 02:33 PM »

Nope, it wasn't a Raleigh!!

Nope not an Apollo either but good thinking Phil, look at the motorbike style forks on mine though - really interesting

kdw712 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 01, 2006, 03:49 PM »

i remb i had a 3spd raleigh jeep with cow horns and knobbly tyres
