Been a newbie to long so finally paid my fees.
Hoping for some good times on here and find the missing bits I need.

Here's a few of my collection.

I'm not very good at all this stuff so would appreciate a bit of guidance!. In fact this is the first time iv joined a forum based site so I might have few questions over time. Thanks mate. Jon

Welcome to RAD mate, you are in the right place!
If you look in the mid school section you will see a stunning MORALES build just completed by midschooljon. Richard (Chubby) also has a lovely MORALES build which is shaping up nicely. Place an ad in the Wanted section, you may get a reply. Bmxmuseum.com would probably be a good place to look for something like that...

Hi. Newbie here from London but residing in North East. Had a Super Burner in the 80s that my 13 year old self thought would look better as a fake Diamondback 😀. Stripped the gold paint off and spent all my hard earned Saturday job money on upgrades to pretty much everything but the frame......which was clearly not a Diamondback 😀. Now aged 44 I've purchased a Diamondback Reactor that I'm doing up when I have time.

Used to ride Kingshill BMX track in Hayes back when national meets were still there. We had a cool bike shop in town called Mal Rees. Anybody else hail from that area and recall that shop?

Looking forward to using the site and looking at everyone's rides. Thanks for having me!!

Hi Guys Newbie in the room, I don't know if this is a mid life crisis but recently decided to build my first custom 80s bmx. Starting point was a pic of me on bmx aged 9 with no Idea what is was but I rode that thing to death fun times

Got most of the bits now and perhaps more than I needed suppose I could build two just don't tell the wife

You're no madder than any of us mate, jump on and get involved with the forum, it's a crazy, but great hobby.

Hello!
Finally back on Radbmx after a little while, glad to be back and looking forward to any help/ guidance/ assistance/ sale offers for my RL20 II build. Looking forward to my fourth MK in August.

Hi Guys,

New to this, I rode from 96 to 2003 on Hoffman Taj which I still own and have a few more... not sure if Mid-school is popular on here? Going to MK to meet Mat Hoffman in Aug. Thanks Dave.

looking to rebuild or just get myself a tribute to my old bike that I swapped (foolishly

) for a rubbish mountain bike back in 1990!!!

this is all in and around London WC1 where we lived

details (from memory...)

Torker 280X frame /Bottema street park forks
CW freestyle bars/Oakley or Mushrooms with Doughnuts/stem with Potts mod/dia compe mx all round
Black Skyway Tuff IIs shod with with a whitewall on the back and a knarler knobbler on front
kashimax aero with fluted post/Suntour main ring with Shamano pedals/standard crank
back pedal brake with where anchored with MX seat post clamp

if you have seen this bike or any combo of parts it may still be alive

Good luck finding your old bike

and welcome to

Phil_Le_Stine · « **Reply #72 on:** December 15, 2016, 05:35 AM »

Merry Christmas guys im Phil i was put i touch with this site after i put an advert on gumtree fpr my Haro freestyler sport of the age im trying to ascertain im thinking its an 88 but cannot be sure the stamp on bottom was trying to be security minded my cousin whom i inherited the bike from had put his name and postcode stamp in via a letter stamping kit which goes directly over the serial numbers is there any other way of finding out the actual model i have im looking to sell or restore also but im outta my depth please help Phil !x

Spen69 · « **Reply #73 on:** December 15, 2016, 07:04 AM »

Welcome Phil. If you post a picture of the bike up, a pic of the serial number area and measure the top tube from center of the seatpost tube to center of the headset tube it will probably take one of the Haro fans on here about a minute to work out exactly what model it is mate

From then on it's a slippery slope unless you go for a survivor look and just clean it, strip & re-grease it, pump up the tyres and ride it like you stole it

Hi all
Just joined today after discovering this site whilst hunting down a mountain bike for my lad on eBay. Got side tracked by bmx's that kept appearing, and after further research about old school bmx's a load of memories about brands came flooding back. Of course nothing I could afford circa 1984, I started with a basic red burner from my mom's catalogue which I paid for myself with my paper round money!

I then spec'd it up bit by bit before buying a Reynolds 501 chromoly frame set before swapping it for a racer in '86

Anyway I just bought a team Puch freestyler on eBay which is in a bit of a state from 1986 so looks like I've found something to do apart from finishing my house off.. Not sure the wife realises what's up ahead...
Great to be here,
Dom.
