my bro used to have a BMX like that, but it had these stainless? posts that stuck out of the axle and Ithink out of the front forks....what were all that about?
Him and his mates used to join the skateboarders annoying the security guards at the HBOS head office, a tradition held to this day
Must have been good cause I'm sure thats what he replaced his Orange MTB with

ahh right wikid trikz..lol
Yeah Orange are in Halifax, back in the day, there was a whole bunch of teenagers riding them, as one of their elder brothers worked there and got massive discounts. Much needed considering the pricetags He had a Marin one too, which I used to nick to go round to see me mates on!
Can't believe that the retro ones still commision so much on ebay, I was astonished looking at them the other day

I was told it could possibly be an old townsend. It's just a cheap hack for going to uni on.

Fallen off it so many times already! It seems to bounce okay
