Raleigh - Team Freestylers - Old Skool Pics from BITD.
« on: May 23, 2009, 01:00 AM »
I don't venture in this section RADBMX much... only admire some of the lovely Freestyle Resto's and look at the Old Skool Pics from the 80's Freestyle Competitions.

And its with some old pics I now come...

I've been lent these photographs by Darren Wood (whom most will know was part of Team Raleigh).

I've been thrilled to look through these pics and study the bikes and little subtle changes and features they had... very individual.

Lets see who can name these guys and the locations...

THE RIDERS....



















THE RIDE....



























Hope you guys enjoyed looking at those...  :daumenhoch: as much as I did....  :4_17_5:

And thanks for your hospitality here in the Freestyle section...  ;)

I've now been lucky enough to receive 2 envelopes 'STACKED' with photographs belonging to Darren... and I could honestly just sit for hours and sift through them.

I've picked out the best ones to scan and share on here... hope you like them.  :daumenhoch:

Be cool if you 'experts' could confirm the full spec of the bikes...  :daumenhoch:

Beard, Jason Lunn ran a green/white two tone team burner with green tuffs for a while, do you have any pics of this bike, be great to see it.  :daumenhoch:

Paul Zak was a superb flatlander which puts the double top tube theory in the bin, he did great on a single top tube frame.

Not got any pics of the Green bike in the collection Darren has sent me so far... but there may be more on the way... so fingers crossed because I would love to see that as well...  :shocked: :shocked:

Old pics , are always good to see

They don't  have to be action pics  either as it's good just to look at the spec of bikes  people rode isn't it  :)

Thats what I have enjoyed most... obviously seeing these two lads ride a couple of 'burners'  :Great_Britain: in such a fashion is great!! BUT like ya say dubber its great to see the bikes themselves and see what components they were running.

Take this shot for example... just interesting to see the Framestand Bracket on one side and the Peg being run on the other... I'm no freestyle expert so stuff like this fascinates me...  :buck2: :buck2: :buck2:

Dave forgot to say ( john povah ) is the raleigh rider in satan s toilet at southsea yellow helmet and is on one VERY VERY VERY RARE RALEIGH.............  8)






This was a twin top tube freestyle frame and fork ! I think this was made by a guy called GERALD ............. NO punn intended in a small plant raleigh hade in ilkeston derby where the likes of the bmx frames that looked very like road frames were made You have some pics with( KAREN MURRPY ) riding one of these at hounslow .

I think Johns bike was based round the same design in principal as a Haro freestyler  ;) I will speak to my OLD MAN  :smiley6600: and see if he can shed some more light on this subject ?..............

Anyway hope everyone is enjoying the photos  8)



nice one WOODY  :Great_Britain:
