Where did you buy your first bike?

I got my first new bike from The Bike Shop (That's what it's called now, can't remember the name back then) in Skipton in 1990. It was a 1989 Saracen Tufftrax. I'd paid a deposit some time before then slowly paid off the balance.

My mate beavis got his 1990 Marin Palisades on the same day from the same shop. :cool:

If that's the shop up near the castle my brother bought a Marin Pine Mountain there in 1990. I didn't have that kind of money and bought a Saracen Eiger from Halfords.
 
Being old..pardon my droning..not so much buying but first bike

during the war we wert so poor even a cardboard box was tut luxury

my first bike was a neighbours red moulton mini that had snapped in half and a mate at my dads work welded it back together again and I then got it

I did feel a social leper as at the time the cool kids were riding grifters and choppers and I had my snapped in half moulton mini in red..to match my hair..god I hated being young
 
My first new bike was an Ammaco 202 BMX bought from Dave Friar surf shop in Mumbles, pretty cheapo thing but I rode it to everywhere for years :cool:
 
Dundee,

To compound the foolishness I bought my 2nd one there too :roll:

Both high ten boat anchors............mmmmmmm, maybe thats where the shops sourced them :?
 
1968, 2nd hand shop, Clepington Rd, Dundee. BSA Wayfarer, 3spd Sturmey Archer. 7th birthday pressie.

:D :D :D
 
Had bought a few frames (roadies) but firtst complet bike was an Alpinestars Al-Mega DX. from Cyclerama in Exeter. Frameset and Seatpost still going strong, DX parts wore out and replaced with XT and (first generation - I think) XTR finished with 3TTT bars and stem.
 
First bike was a Raleigh Arena racer for xmas pressie but no idea where it came from :?:

My first & only brand new bike was my 1993 Kona Hahanna bought from The Sensible Bike Company in Liss Hampshire, god i loved that bike but i always wanted to upgrade as my riding buddy went & bought an Explosif :D
