I've always preferred there double straight bar
This is very rare frame as they only made it in 62

Lime green Strika - bestest colour I reckon and bang-on period.

Here's little me on a very new Strika (brand new colour that year) trying to jump and failing badly in my parents garden!

That thing that musty have weighed more than me!!!

I so wanted a Chopper and then a BMX, but they were all too big so my parents got me a Strika instead and that looks WAY too big too! BMX style numberplate was fitted so it felt more like a BMX and look at the stupid angle of those brake levers. Not that pulling on them actually did much...

Still got 4 pages to catch up on, but that *is* the best retrobike picture ever. Qualcast abandoned? Squash/tennis? racquet in the border; doing a stunt. It’s like my memory distilled into a moment.

(We used to play tennis on the road, and would call “CAR!” When one came round the corner [cf Wayne’s World])

Much respect

It's a fantastic picture, we used to do the same across the road, great until the ball goes through the front door window

Some do I usually get them for pretty cheap so I pass them along when one gets really excited
