Absolutely awesome build fella

The pics of the shop r fantastic

kungfunky · « **Reply #31 on:** August 10, 2012, 10:06 PM »

Another pic of the shop circa 78

note the lack of chrome bikes

Now if only these prices were todays..

The Cook Bros UNI clamp fetch around $1000 now.

Awesome

Comp lll tyre AND a graphite Z Rim for $30 or a pony wallet for $8.50

I know which I'd rather have.

On another note, how 'circa' is circa 78 as the pic shows a 'Loopy Quad' with Quadangle padset but I thought they renamed the STR-1 the Quadangle in 80 / 81?

These pics rock.

Something else VERY cool. Ben's original race card from 1977. Ben's never shared these before so we're super lucky to have them on RAD

Great pics again Ash

If only there was a bike shop like that that has been boarded up since the 80's

You should really blank out Bens telephone number Ash.

kungfunky · « **Reply #42 on:** August 10, 2012, 10:35 PM »

Adam........Ben was 15 at the time and living with his parents...that number is no longer part of the Joy family

AKGOFF · « **Reply #43 on:** August 10, 2012, 10:36 PM »
