many moons ago when i was a small boy father xmas delivered me a burner wasnt quite the mongoose i asked for but hey it was a bmx
it was red and white and i remember fitting haro plastic 2 finger levers to it and an ace bmx stem pad
ive only just got into the bmx thing again over the last couple of months but havent come across either of these up for grabs does anyone have them out there would be interesting too see them again if anyone has pics?
-
Seen the haro levers on ebay - they do pop up every now and then
Go to the freestyle section and look for a thread called magazine downloads - in there is a link to some old mags from the 80's proper BMX porn

Ratty has an ACE stem pad but I don't think he'll be selling it :daumenhoch:
-
In two years I have managed to get a stem pad and a frame pad, the ruler sorted me out a stem pad (top lad that he is) I cant remember who got me the other one. But I will say there is very little ace gear about, I am still looking for a frame and forks

That's about right, Cav Strutt and Andy Ruffell both had Grifters with straightened forks; I think one of the bmx magazines did an article on them and they explained how they straightened the forks using a drain grate!
