I've had a diamond back, not sure which one, Harrow Shedder, Harrow Master, full custom "Zimma" known as unbreakable frames and weigh nearly 4 stoneand I actually still have a bmx now that I do actually ride along the sea front in the summer, and that's a GT Vertigo.
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..gutted years later that I didn't tuck it away as the bike looked the dogs...
Yamaha byz401
PK ripper
Quadangle.
in order of ownership
Raleigh Burner (red)
Skyway TA (white)

Cool - thought it was just me having a mid life crisis (I'm only 35 but had a hard life!)
Currently riding this
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!
Oh and mine has an old mans seat now! Got to sit down occasionally!
Owned, 1983 pihanna.
Wish I still had it now.....
Wheels weighed a tonne.Originally Posted by Matt@CodeRedMotorsports
Which quadangle? There's 2 on ebay custom ,look the dogs.Yamaha byz401
PK ripper
Quadangle.
Do you mean this matt
Cant find a pihanna.
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....
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.Do you mean this matt
You have to remember that I'm old..... The film ET was out at the time....
Just an se racing quadangle,it was a long time ago.
Here's a pic of the 401,not mine.One of these on ebay for 800 quid,my first ever bmx,must of been 12,13,14?don't no I can't remember.lol

R-burner...
Not a bmx but also had a kirk revolution, that was a weird looking bike..
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!
More like this....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.

(Pic from bmx museum).
And yes, sorry a 'Piranha' not 'Pihanna' hehe!
Them wheels look like skyways to me?Just realized it was 1982 when I had the Yamaha which made me 10.
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.
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
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
Not a bmx but does anyone remember the grifter? And for a bonus point can you tell me the name of its baby brother??
Yeah remember those... Was it a burner the smaller one?
Raleigh grifter and striker.
Hehe! Striker....!Raleigh grifter and striker.
I remember the grifter had a foam seat, if it got wet, so did your bum
That's the one.Hehe! 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.
Heavy but good bike, if you want to sell break the rims pm me.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!
I only have an old GT RTS3 mtb now, had it or years......good bike that.

Striker was like a mini Burner the Commando was the baby GrifterRaleigh grifter and striker.
Commando was more like a chopper?Striker was like a mini Burner the Commando was the baby Grifter
this is the comandoCommando was more like a chopper?
and grifter

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
