I originaly got back into BMX because I wanted a firebird freestyler that I didnt get back in the day. After much searching I found one on the bay.
Then I found RAD and went to MK08, saw the racing and thought I would have ago.
Put a wanted search on here for a cheap old school racing bike to get me started but had no joy.
Then found a newly re-coated ammaco f&f on ebay and the hunt for cheap parts was on..................
The whole idea behind the bike was that I had to keep the costs down as much as possible and that it didn't have to be true to the original.
I have since been told that the folks are not ammaco and are tange? we think
Got to give a BIG THANKS to Decal Del and MotomagII Greg for all there help with construction!!!!!
