Well I bought a Chrome Haro Master with allsorts of trick bits white Skyways, Tioga Task force crank, Gt spinner headset MX brakes, cant remember the rest due to old age bought it off a mate way back in 1988 for £40 and thought I did well selling it on for £80.When I got a Yamaha DT50 from my 16th birthday many moons ago.. :cry: gutted years later that I didn't tuck it away as the bike looked the dogs...

Far from old school but I love it! Is a diamondback alt2012 - bought it when I sold my R26 meg as was feeling sorry for myself - admittedly £750 (including mods) is possibly a bit steep for a BMX but its wicked! It's so light it's nuts! Just need to develop some bigger balls now like I had 20 years ago and ill be laughing!

[caymanr26]

Oh and mine has an old mans seat now! Got to sit down occasionally!

Do you mean this matt
http://bmxmuseum.com/image/img_0086_copy1.jpg Cant find a pihanna.

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

The silly alloy twisted ones, yep.
I stuck some white plastic spoked wheels on after a while, the myth was, if they got buckled you put them in the freezer and they straightened themselves out....:laugh:

Yep, just like that but pale blue, pads on the headset too, on the early bike it had a gusset in the frame, later bikes didn't.
You have to remember that I'm old..... The film ET was out at the time....:crap:

[casper]

Not a bmx but also had a kirk revolution, that was a weird looking bike..

[Ashy]

I've still got my S&M Sabath in the loft, Sun Rhino Rimms, G-Sport Hubs, cost me nearly £1000.00 back in 1996! :eek:

Them wheels look like skyways to me?Just realized it was 1982 when I had the Yamaha which made me 10.:cry:

[SCHWARTZ]

Its amazing now that even a make like diamond back now sell a complete with hidden headset, 25-9, 3pc crank etc... when a few years ago if you wanted a decent set up you had to build your own. :rolleyes:
First bmx was an old villan where the seat stays came past the seat tube then into the top tube loved it snapped it welded it snapped it again:laugh:
Then a thrillseeker that also snapped, then a fly pantera frame that survived now owned by a mate and my current daily is a felt sherif frame:D

[casper]

Not a bmx but does anyone remember the grifter? And for a bonus point can you tell me the name of its baby brother??

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Yeah remember those... Was it a burner the smaller one?

[casper]

Raleigh grifter and striker.:)

Did not have that many bmx's mainly mtb's but had a few burners in my younger days, and 9-10 years ago had an eastern Jane.

i always thought that the commando was more of a mini grifter, as for the chopper, having had one as a kid i can say with experience that it was just friggin dangerous :laugh:

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

I used to have loads of the old skool bmx's when i was a kid.

A few from memory were - pk ripper, loads of gt's, few haro masters. About 15 year ago i give a mint haro master away, had skyway mags with hub brake, originsl graphics, all the period bits - shimano dx pedals etc. Wish i had stuck it in the loft!
