Parts I picked up from mates etc! My Mum and Dad would have never bought me a BMX. I had a racer, because its all a fad and it will not last and you will get board of it, mmmmmm. I'm 40 this year and yesterday I drove for nearly 6 hours just to race around a dirt track :daumenhoch: They were'nt always right?

Holdsworth Cycles in Welling, it`s still there but called Welling cycles now and still run by the same family  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
