Picked up a bike that was absolutely plastered with these stickers.

Anybody remember them?

We used to get the train from Oxford to London, then another train from Waterloo to Woking, just to LOOK in Surry BMX. Then we'd call in to Alpine Action on the way back.
I got my Haro sport from Surry BMX in 84. I found out last weekend that it was a Gen2 Torker made one.
Shame I have No idea where it is now

They had a little van that sold things and parts at Surbiton Town Jim.
