like many my first foray into bicycling came from a bike very similar to this one as i remember, removable top tube and all. i recall i prolly would have been 5 or 6 at the time
it went from being a stocker, to loosing the trainers, later it lost the mudguards as they lost street cred, the sissy bar seat later in its career was replaced with a standard saddle as the BMX craze took hold and some try hard BMX safety pads were applied to try and look the part.
at the age of around 10-11 i finally got a real BMX, a repco hotfoot
same as this,
this lasted me right up to adolescence, it got a bit of a makeover when i was 15/16 copping a flat black stealth custom paint jobbie and by then was garnished with a set of araya ally rims , and even had genuine shimano DX platforms
unfortinately the refresh amde it look pretty good to some other kid who subserquently stole it from under the verandah out the back of our old house.
