Bicycles from your childhood

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

I had one in lemon yellow. Got it from Robottoms on Oldham rd.
The parental units wouldn't let me bring it to Canada

Remember Rowbottoms well. One of, probably the best, toy shops ever.

I had one of these -a Triang 1970 - like a poor mans Moulton Mini

The very early 90s were completely style free looking back

Yellow Mk2 Chopper for me. Then progressed to a ten speed Peugeot racer in Celeste blue which I used to lovingly polish with Duraglit on a far too often basis. Loved that bike.

I had an Elswick Hopper with a 5 speed derailier gear plus cow horn handle bars. I had that until the day the Racecourse estate was built, never saw it again.

Went to SBGS

 

[Keeper!]

Cow Horn handlebars, the bigger the more credibility from your mates.

A green Raleigh Strika, loved it. Then when that phase went had a bmx called a Piranha. Looked cool as fuck but it was bloody heavy limiting my stunts
