Instead what I got was a Halfords basic job in black that later I tried spraying with some silver paint in the hope it would look like a silver fox. Only to be disappointed that it just looked shiny grey with globs of paint where I didn't know what I was doing and sprayed so much on that it ran.

I really wanted a BMX to replace my Raleigh Grifter, but Mum and Dad insisted on me having a mountain bike instead (a Raleigh Maverick). At the time I was the first at my school to have a mountain bike, and everybody poked fun and called it my "treader". Of course seems I was ahead of my time as mountain bikes are far more prevalent now. Sounds like a great bike Glenn.

My parents bought it from a catalogue.....it wasn't Kays. It began with a G. It was considered pretty cool though....as it had a pedal back brake! YEAH!!! A PEDAL BACK BRAKE!!! It had regular spokes though, which were not cool. I know some Raleigh bikes had what they call Skyways! 4 or 5 spoke rims. The best of, according to rumour you could put in the freezer to un-buckle them! I don't know. The best I could ever manage was an endo..... a small bunny hop or a jump over a brook.....a small jump!
