It was built as a show pony/carpet queen, but I just couldn't help myself but put it on the dirt!

Also just thought I'd give a brief history of this bike for anyone that decides to read back this far...

Got it built for my birthday in 1983 and raced it the very next day after taking delivery, at the NEC (was it Kellogs or Halfords?) championships (featuring Bob Haro).

Raced a few times at Redditch but didn't really compete as I was too small really, didn't start growing until I was 16 lol!

Obviously rode it on the street etc for the next few years... then sold it to a work colleague in the early 90's for £60.00 because I needed the money!

10 years later he asked if I wanted it back as his kids had stopped using it, and it was just lying unloved in his back garden!

So I got it back, my Dad did it up for my kids using any old bits just to get it back to a rideable condition, painted it black and put Diamond Back stickers on it!

Again after some good hard use over 7 or 8 years it was left unloved in my garage until a mate told me about this site and I decided to do it up as close to its original spec as possible.

I've only had a chance to race it once this year

- the first regional at Hayes. Been in the loft ever since except for showing at MK09 where it got a medal. Very sad indictment of my race intentions, but my boy plays county development cricket so no racing...

Hayes dust:

Newly arrived, needs some work, with my Yorks & Humberside plate from BiTD:

thanks to MADD DOGG for spotting it for me

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #22 on:** December 22, 2009, 06:46 PM »

nice score jon, nice plate too

James Nada · « **Reply #23 on:** December 22, 2009, 06:56 PM »

Looking forward to seeing you race it Jon. Lytham?

I do like that number plate.

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #24 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:49 PM »

Cheers it's a Haro Group 1, and a JIVE! number panel. All in good working order but very heavy/cheap wheels and cranks/pedals - the rest of it will be decent after a polish.
Lytham is not looking good as I have a paying gig that day, so unless the gig or the race move I won't make it. Shame as it looks more like a proper old BMX track than most... I don't usually have many Sunday gigs so as soon as the regional dates are published I'll get those race dates reserved, same for Milton Keynes and Bob Fields Grands if they don't clash with prior bookings.
