I nearly had Nick but it unfortunately isn't.  :-[  Thought it was a Scrambler/Stringray, got it last month for the budget build off, decided against it now as it aint a Schwinn.

Nick was the fella who did kick turns on a GJS late 70s that went on to become quite well known for tricks on a BMX


I'm kickin me self as my mums neighbour has a removal firm
In late 70s he moved an American family to my area who gave him a bike as a thank you /tip
This bike has sat in his storage since then , he recently asked me if I wanted it as he knew I was into BMX
I wasn't really feeling the BMX vibe at that time but went for a peek just to keep him chill & told him it wasn't what I ride & left it there
Well now I'm feeling the vibe again I asked him if he still had it but sadly he dumped it
This is the hard part it was a Stingray with BMX modifications
I know I must hang my head in shame for not taking it
