Awesome Dave as always, your attention to detail is second to none.

Seeing your bikes at Epic and reading Mat's book made me want a Condor too (Cheers Bru)

That is a great build Dave & even better to get Matt to sign it.

I'll have mine built soon (Hoffman Flash) but would be interested to see any pics if you have any of Changa's bike to see how close I am with period parts, etc

.

cheers

Marty

Would love to oblige Marty, but all my 90s mags are up in Sheffield and I'm in Surrey. Maybe mid-school scan king S&M Alex can save the day.

I do remember the Flash when it first came out though (think I wanted one). Hoffman had 2 factory racers, Lawan Cunningham I remember, but I can't remember who the other one was.

SaMAlex · « **Reply #41 on:** September 22, 2007, 11:43 PM »

Id love to help. I have a stack of 90s mags inches from me right now, but I have no idea what you are talking about! I know who Lawan Cunningham is, but Ive never heard of this "Changa" you speak of.

MartyC · « **Reply #42 on:** September 22, 2007, 11:57 PM »

Isn't Changa Cunningham's nickname? $:-\$

Would be good if you could have a look and see if you;ve got anything on the Hoffman Flash in your stack there Alex? I've got this little beauty to put together soon

SaMAlex · « **Reply #43 on:** September 23, 2007, 12:08 AM »

I heard that when cantis were first being put on BMX's, Lawan Cunningham refered to them as "that brake thingey".

egg · « **Reply #44 on:** September 23, 2007, 12:19 AM »

the other racer was chris breen

Lazarou · « **Reply #45 on:** September 23, 2007, 08:41 AM »

Was Lawan living at the POW house when you were there Alex?

Yep, he was living there. I went to a few races and he was there too. Nice bloke.

Stodgy · « **Reply #47 on:** September 23, 2007, 01:12 PM »

Ooooo, I do love a Flash...why exactly did I sell mine? FFS, I am a twat.

dialledbikes · « **Reply #48 on:** September 23, 2007, 04:37 PM »

Good detective work Egg. I would never have remembered Chris Breen.

I've no idea why I remember Lawan Cunningham being nicknamed "Changa".

I'm sure I saw someone at Hersden last weekend on a blue Hoffman Flash.
