Got my first BMX as a young boy from the catalogue. I remember it was blue and silver and most likely a burner. Painted it
various colours and broke most bits including the forks. Think the only thing left was the frame and crank in the end.
Accidently discovered ebay and placed a bid on a frame not thinking i would win it and then had to explain to the wife what i had done.
That was the start ...
First bike was a Haro Master 1985 in white with all the original bits( not copy bits ) i wanted as a kid
Then managed to get my all time No1 frame and forks, the skyway TA. Built it as a full on freestyler and is still my favourite
Then decided i need something to ride at the RADBMX meet in Milton Keynes. Decided to build a Haro race bike, with as much as the correct parts on it as possible. Couldn’t afford the correct cranks !
Then to keep my son away from my collection i built him a skyway ta pit bike. 16” tuffs are so cool !
Well, thought i would get my latest build finished as its MK this weekend
Always been a fan of BMX Bandits when the film first came out many years ago, so just had to build one of the bikes
Still want to get a real Tange red seat clamp but happy with rest of the build especially the NOS Grips
