Found this on my post round today

Anyone seen or heard of it before?

It says Iron horse klp on the front sticker, the frame number is klp b66102 , it has AP-25 Arai pedals , yellow san marco bmx seat and bernardi mozzi motor wheels.
Any info appreciated

Looks like catalogue wreckage to me. The name sounds familiar - doesn't sound too light though, does it

i had a similar bike called an alien, also from a catalogue, same crap flexy wheels and rock hard nylon grips, lasted about a month, i upgraded to a stolen recovered tuff burner and was well happy!

i'm suprized this one has lasted so long! must be rare

Thanks for the info

Hi.

Pretty sure this is a Dirt Burner. I had one. It was my first BMX (83'ish).

Those are the original wheels. Broke mine doing a Miami Hopper.

N.B. for info came supplied with a yellow set of mudguards!

Cheers.

Lowlier than a Burner round our way...... Local tomboy used to have one. She used to race against the works Hutches at Greetland and won regularly.... she was one tough cookie.... turned out to be a carpet muncher.... no suprise there then

'IRON' horse says it all really

selfpreservation · « **Reply #19 on:** May 24, 2006, 07:59 PM »

we all gotta start somewhere i bought the haro ff in around 82/83 off a guy called scott who had a tshirt/bmx wear co with will smyth called JIVE in belfast you may have heard of the co some cool clothes and stuff they also had a fanzine called DIG or something

i met them years later and we used to ride together a bit (they were from the other side of the fence from me and it wasnt till we growed up we met again)

Donno what the are at now probably still shreddin really good riders back in the day
will was on BMX beat i remember
anyway used
my tuffs from the burner new bits here and there the usual story for a lot of peeps dont you think
g1s are a collectors item now but back then they were just a good bike i progressed to it as i started to ride better dull but true

Anyone got a pic of the Alien, I think I had one of them!!

I remember a geezer called steve gratton who was sponsored by iron horse. he had a black one with euro bottom bracket and 3pc alloy cranks , he was quite fast and one of the first sponsored riders I ever saw.
he also had a bike check in bmx news as well, this must have been about 1980 I think.
