Love the Mongoose, very bmx bandits. Always a bit jealous of these, as my parents wouldn't let me have a bmx as a kid. I blame them for not bring shoe to wheelie properly.

Don't know if you saw it, but a couple of years ago they did a tribute remake to the opening of that film

I did see that when it came out, its very well done and also my hometown. Like the original was a lot of my stomping ground and around the northern beaches.
Also spending all day every day riding this when younger helps me understand why I love my singlespeed so much

Re:

Some nice stuff Jamie, great find on the Nitto kit. Was a big BMX fan BITD, had a Puch, Burner and a Redline which was very nice. The original Haro Freestyler would be my unicorn.

Re:

Is that because they hadn't been invented?

 

[Jamiedyer]

Is that BMX or the wheel
The Mongoose was a long story but my first was when I was about 5 or 6 I had a purple metal flake Malvern Star dragster. This became like grandfathers axe over the next 8 years or so. It seen use as a BMX, cruiser etc. Loved it, my mum and dad got it for me at Christmas. It came from a big Dept type store called back home called Waltons, and I used to go in with my mum on a Saturday because it was on lay by. Loved it.

Wish I hadn't read this thread.

Looks like the Concorde is getting decked out in Nitto. Post, stem, bars and plugs on order.

Snap on the Nitto.

I have a new B135 sitting in front of me.

It's pissing down here too, but that's not a problem as I can't go on the bike until my undercarriage has healed from the operation.

Re:

The miracle of Retrobike I looked at it for long enough too wondering what I could buy.
